Book Description
Queen's Gambit Declined D50-59 The first recorded game using 4...Nbd7 in the QGD was by Emanuel Lasker in 1892 and gained popularity when it was used several times in the Cambridge Springs tournament in 1904. Practitioners of the opening have included Bogoljubov, Smyslov, Kasparov and Carlsen. This Black defense is also popular among amateurs because there are several traps White can fall into. Chapter 6 features puzzles from a favorite opening of Korchnoi, Gligoric and Piket and more recently Radjabov, Nakamura and Carlsen. The Lasker Defense was used by Anand to defeat Topalov in the final game of the 2010 World Championship. Overall, the openings covered in this book are solid but either side can open lines of play in and around the center and should be aware of the abundant tactical possibilities if the pressure at the center is released.A better way to study tactics This volume is indexed by ECO classification so that the reader can focus on his or her area of expertise. Each of these sections contains their own pitfalls and traps. It is more fruitful to study the tactics of an opening you might encounter as White or Black than to study the knight fork, pin or skewer, one tactic at a time. When the type of tactic is provided with the puzzle, it is already half solved. Study the more common tactics found within an opening you face and you will come away with an understanding of the real dynamics of the opening and pick up tactics you can already use.

Book Description
The author emphasizes the role of individuals and yet makes it quite evident that by the time of her centenary in the early days of World War II, Queen's had developed an organic vitality through which the vicissitudes occasioned by external fortunes or by internal tensions could be transcended. Throughout the period covered by this volume Queen's faced a long, hard struggle for adequate resources for research in terms of space, equipment, and most importanly, faculty time; the gradual development of graduate work; and the building of library resources. There was firm and creative leadership through the crises of the war and its aftermath and a renewal of optimism through the final decades of this history.
