A lively explanation of an important opening
The Queen's Gambit Accepted (QGA) is Black's most straightforward answer to the popular Queen's Gambit. By accepting the gambit pawn, Black refuses to submit to the strategic bear-hug which is so common in the Queen's Gambit Declined. The QGA is fundamentally sound, but soon leads to sharp play where both sides have plenty of chances to play for a win.
·An opening played with success on the Black side by super-grandmaster Anand, Sadler, Short, Ivanchuk, Svidler and Korchnoi
·Everything you need to know to play this opening as Black or White
·Part of the Batsford Chess Opening Guides series, providing a rapid understanding of fashionable openings through the use of model games and clear explanations
Chris Ward is a leading member of the younger generation of English grandmasters. His many successes include winning the 1996 British Championship, and he is also a well-respected chess trainer. He has written several best-selling books for Batsford, including Winning with the Dragon, Opening Play and (with John Emms) Chess Choice Challenge.

Das angenommene Damengambit hat eine lange Tradition, führt aber dennoch in der Geschichte der Schachturniere nur ein Schattendasein. Vielleicht geht dies auf Tarrasch zurück, der vom "Aufgeben des Zentrums" sprach und die Eröffnung regelrecht verteufelte.
Jedenfalls überwog zu Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts die orthodoxe Verteidigung des Damengambits, danach wurde die Tarrasch - Verteidigung populär und schließlich war es Mode, Königsindisch oder Grünfeldindisch zu spielen. In neuerer Zeit erlebte Slawisch dank Anand und Kramnik eine stürmische Weiterentwicklung.
Die vergleichsweise bescheidene Rolle, die das angenommene Damengambit spielte, spiegelte sich auch in der Literatur wider. Inzwischen werden aber die Möglichkeiten dieser Eröffnung auch auf höchster Ebene genutzt (Anand, Short u.a.) und es ist daher nicht verwunderlich, daß der Büchermarkt nachzieht.
Ein ausgezeichnetes Werk erschien nun bei Batsford, geschrieben von dem jungen englischen Großmeister Chris Ward. Das Buch beschreibt sehr übersichtlich den aktuellen Stand der Theorie. Durch die ausführlichen verbalen Planbeschreibungen ist es für Schachfreunde jeglicher Spielstärke angenehm lesbar. Voraussetzung sind natürlich gute englische Sprachkenntnisse.
