The Queen's Gambit cover

Are you tired of playing the same old openings time and time again? Fed up with constantly having to keep up with modern chess theory? Or perhaps you simply wish to play something new and inspiring, but cannot decide between the numerous options available? Don't despair - help is on hand! In "Dangerous Weapons: The Queen's Gambit", opening experts Richard Palliser, Glenn Flear and Chris Ward team up to investigate one of the most popular openings in chess history, but in a revolutionary way. They concentrate on little-explored and fun-to-play variations of the Queen's Gambit, selecting a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colours. Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover! "Dangerous Weapons" is an exciting series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. Many of the carefully chosen weapons are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded; they are guaranteed to throw even your most experienced opponent off balance. It features large array of opening weapons for both White and Black. It explains The Queen's Gambit in a completely new light. It is ideal for ambitious and adventurous players.

"'Whoever absorbs this wealth of original analysis can expect exciting games and some quick wins, with both colours!' James Vigus, reviewing Dangerous Weapons: The Sicilian in British Chess Magazine. 'A lot of fun' GM Lubomir Kavalek reviewing Dangerous Weapons: The Nimzo-Indian in The Washington Post 'Everyman Chess looks to have a winning series straight out of the gate.' John Donaldson, reviewing the series for Jeremysilman.com"
