Product details

"Starting Out: The Queen's Gambit" by John Shaw is an introductory chess book focused on the Queen's Gambit opening. The book is designed for inexperienced or slightly more experienced players who want to learn the fundamental principles and positional plans behind this classical opening.

Key aspects include:

Explanation of the Queen's Gambit main line (1. d4 d5 2. c4) and its positional intentions for White, primarily to dominate the center and create problems for Black's development, especially concerning Black's queen's bishop and pawn structure.

Coverage of the most popular replies and variations to the Queen's Gambit, including the Queen's Gambit Declined and the Exchange Variation.

The book is divided into chapters, each starting with the basic ideas of a variation followed by illustrative games to explain strategic and tactical concepts.

Shaw emphasizes understanding plans and ideas over memorizing theory, making it a practical guide for players to choose reasonable moves independently.

It is praised for clear, accessible writing by International Master John Shaw, who focuses on positional understanding and logical play.
