For decades, the great unsolved question of 1. For decades, the great unsolved question of 1.d4 d5 has been everything that isn't 2.c4. Dreev and Basso solve it through a unified Black system built on principle rather than memorization, anchored by a revolutionary new idea against the London. The third volume completing the authors' QGD series — and the final piece of a comprehensive repertoire against every first move White can choose.

For decades, the London System carried a dual reputation. Strong players employed it as a reliable universal weapon, while critics dismissed it as a toothless option. GM Ivan Cheparinov's new course challenges this perception entirely.
His London isn't about avoiding preparation—it's about controlling the narrative. Where traditional London theory offers White a safe harbor, Cheparinov presents something more refined: a repertoire built on concrete plans rather than generic setups. Each of Black's defensive structures receives a tailored response, and what emerges is a system where White's flexibility becomes a weapon rather than a compromise.

Nowadays, nobody considers the London System to be an offbeat opening. It can be seen on all levels - from amateur players to the World Champion Magnus Carlsen. What makes this opening so attractive?
There are two major advantages that make London so popular:
1) White's concept is based on a solid positional foundation
2) You do not need tons of computer analysis to play it since understanding is what matters
In this database, the Indian Grandmaster Abhijeet Gupta build a practical London repertoire for White. Besides the theoretical chapters, this database has Video Version, Memory Booster and Computer Practice.

The Trompovsky Attack and especially the London System have become quite popular openings in recent years. This should not come as a surprise. In our computer age, when most of the forced lines lead to a drawn outcome, top chess players began to look for ways to play for a win in less studied and forced openings. Veresov Attack is also an interesting try to reach fresh and unexplored positions. It can be quite dangerous if you are not prepared. GM Pavel Eljanov proposes a universal way to deal with these openings. In his concept, the main idea is to fight for the center as well as to limit the activity of White's bishops through exchanges or the threat of exchanges (and we know that the threat is often stronger than its execution).
The repertoire is based on solid positional grounds and the author is trying to offer similar setups against all three openings.
