“Schandorff’s book can be used as a reference work, for example, by teachers, writers, and annotators needing authoritative guidance….To return to Playing the Queen’s Gambit, I’ll give it a very high grade and congratulate the author. You should bear in mind, however, that it’s on a professional level in terms of detail and analysis. This simply means that you need to be a fairly advanced player, and quite motivated, to truly benefit from it. But even lower players who play 1 d4 (and have a sufficient chess book budget) will want it on their shelves as a high-quality reference.”
