Una estrategia de vanguardia contra la Defensa India de la Reina

This A Cutting-Edge Gambit against the Queen’s Indian is a chess opening book built around one of the sharpest modern ideas against the Queen’s Indian Defence: the pawn sacrifice 6.d5 in the 4...Ba6 variation. It is aimed at players who want to understand current opening theory, build an ambitious White repertoire, and also see the line from Black’s side.

What this book covers

The authors show how this bold gambit has changed the evaluation of the variation and why it has attracted so much attention at the highest level in recent years. The line has been tested by leading players, including Alexey Shirov with White and Peter Leko with Black, and it has also become a practical weapon for club players who like active play and initiative.

You get both the historical background to the system and a detailed explanation of Black’s responses, organised into clear sections and chapters. The deeper, often striking variations are presented in a way that helps you understand the ideas behind the position, not just memorise the moves.

Ufuk Tuncer is a Turkish FIDE Master based in Germany, an active player and respected opening theoretician, also known for work published in New In Chess Yearbooks.

Why choose this title?

Instead of a dry list of variations, it gives you material that organises the theory, highlights practical plans and points out opening novelties.
