In this book grandmaster Sadler explains the ideas behind the Queen's Gambit Declined, one of Black's most dependable replies to the queen's pawn. He discusses all of the major variations in popular practice, explaining the key plans and ideas and highlighting important recent developments.

 

2000 BCF Book of the Year: "The writing is clear and concise with flashes of humour. The material is well organised and the book is attractively laid out and printed. The impression is given that the author, who has deep knowledge of his subject, has held nopthing back from the reader - this is how Sadler sees and plays the Queens Gambit Declined. A particularly valuable feature is the question and answer approach which is done in such a way that the reader feels he or she is receiving a personal tutorial from the grandmaster. Queens Gambit Declined wins Book of the Year on its own considerable merits; but the judges also feel it has additional value as an example to future authors and publishers of openings books." - British Chess Federation
