The ultra-sharp pawn sacrifice 6.d5 has caused a revolution in the 4... Ba6 line of the Queen s Indian Defence in recent years. The ingenious gambit was hotly debated at the highest level by players like Alexey Shirov, for White, and Peter Leko, for Black. At club level it became a dangerous weapon for attackers. Hungarian grandmaster Imre Hera and Turkish FIDE master Ufuk Tuncer have charted this topical line and analysed it deeply. They give a clear overview of the history of the line and have thoroughly investigated all Black s answers in separate parts and chapters. The deep and often spectacular variations are illuminated by instructive and entertaining prose A Cutting-Edge Gambit against the Queen s Indian aims to provide a repertoire for the white player, but anyone who plays the line with black is also well advised to study this work carefully! It presents countless brilliant resources and eye-catching novelties.
The book shows why the line is so attractive for White: fascinating chess, great complexity, chances to create fantastic attacking possibilities. This is exactly what we love chess for. --Alexey Shirov:
One reason this is an important line is that once Black has committed to a Queen's Indian, there aren't too many reasonable ways for him to avoid this gambit (..) Whether they have really kept any secrets isn't something I can judge, but what I can say from checking some of their lines with the computer and with recent games is that their work is thorough, accurate and creative. It's a very good book. --Dennis Monokroussos, The Chess Mind

Gr.-8°, kart. Etat : Sehr gut. 174 S., zahlr. lll. Gebraucht: sehr guter Zustand. Against the widely played Queen's Indian Defense White's most ambitious and most popular choice is the Fianchetto Variation. Since the 1980's the main response here for Black has been the Nimzowitsch Variation 4La6, first played in 1925 by the famous theoretician Aron Nimzowitsch, in which Black tries to hinder White's development by attacking the c4-pawn. In this position an ultra-sharp pawn sacrifice for White has in the past few years revolutionized the entire line. White's gambit has been hotly debated in countless games both at grandmaster and at club level. With this book Hungarian Grandmaster Imre Hera enters an area in chess opening theory that is definitely in turmoil. Hera has not written an ordinary repertoire book, his principal goal was to provide a guide through the labyrinth of this exciting variation. Hera concentrates on resources for White and presents countless eye-catching novelties for that side, but he has also given many ways for Black to equalize. Hera has deeply analyzed this topical line and presents his conclusions and recommendations in full, with extensive verbal explanations. Lots of attention is paid to the ideas and plans behind the moves. This rich book will surprise masters and fascinate club players. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 338.
