Chess members: I'm a begginer looking to create my first opening repertoire. What I'm seeing is that the the 'official opening book' is the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings. Now I do see that this is available for download on this website but hasn't been updated since 2007. I am looking to download the most current version possible. Does anyone know where to get this and if their are any free versions. The one I have right now came with Fritz 12 and I don't know how up to date it is.

Thanks again to everyone! I don't believe the ECO has it right. Whatever QGD meant originally, it has come to be used for 2.e6. I'm no expert on ECO but if you play 1.

C4 c6 to the Queen's Gambit, then you are declining the gambit pawn. Download Web Game Pirate Galaxy Coupon. Thus, it is considered a line of the Queen's Gambit Declined.

The same is true for 2. With all due respect, that is a ridiculous argument. You cannot 'work out logically' what the proper name for something is called. When people talk about the QGD, they are talking about 2.e6. If you view a tutorial on the internet or ESPECIALLY if you buy a book or DVD about the Queen's Gambit Declined, you will not see ANYTHING but 2.e6. So the ECO categorization has become outdated in this sense.

You just stated that 'I'm no expert', well that's certainly an understatement considering you don't even know what I'm arguing for. The ECO is an authorative source, so it is 'correct' by default. But nobody else considers that to be part of the QGD anymore, as you would know if you had an absolute clue of what you were talking about. Lime Wire Pro 4 16 Cracked Tongue.

So the ECO should move on also and update its listings. The Slav is just a subset of all the possible 'declined' variations. After a gambit, you either accept or decline the gambit. If you accept it, it will be the -X- gambit Accepted.

If you decline it, it will be the -X- gambit Declined. A special case is something like the albin counter-gambit, which can also be considered a variation of the Queen's Gambit declined. I found a review of Jeremy Silman's and he claims the newer editions of ECO are rubbish. Which edition is worthwhile? I've got 0 opening books and have to make heads of tails by going though games myself in my database.

Is the book(s) available online or only on paperback? I'd like to take a look at it. Souled American Sonny Rarlab. The editions before this third edition are great/worthwhile. Thanks for the review and I wont be buying any ECOs 3rd edition myself. If you want to get ECOs then you should get the second editions. I'm no expert on ECO but if you play 1. C4 c6 to the Queen's Gambit, then you are declining the gambit pawn.

Let's see, logical deductions in chess dont' work? Got it SCID gives the opening as just Slav. Wikipedia lists it as a variation of the QGD. I would have to look at my MCO when I get home but I would bet the MCO 14 has it in the same section as QGD as a separate varation (but still under the QGD family).
