          Beating the Queen's Gambit - Indian Style! de Renier Castellanos

                                                      The Center Game is a wonderful opening for club players. White starts with a center push, develops quickly, looks for opposite castling, and launches an attack. The setup will feel very familiar to you in no time. And the chess engines show that this opening is both sound and correct, and at least as good as the over-analyzed Ruy Lopez and Italian Opening. With this opening, you'll...

In the Accelerated Dragon, Black aims for an improved version, saving a move with his queen's pawn.
