Understanding the Queens Gambit Accepted
The QGA is a positionally sound and reliable opening, played by world champions Kasparov, Karpov, Anand and Topalov.

Against 3.e4 they recommend 3...Nc6 4.Nf3 Nf6!?, against 3.e3 they choose 3...e5! and against 3.Nf3 their weapon of choice is 3...Nf6 4.e3 Bg4!? Other choices and drawish alternatives are given.
