Soft cover. Condition: VG+. 1st Edition. See photos for condition details. This sale is for both books: Queen's Gambit (c. 1974 with 101 pages) and Queen's Gambit Accepted (c. 1972 with 97 pages). Both books are staple bound softcovers that show very little handling wear. Neither book has any handwriting, smudge marks, or any other markings. The exterior covers of both do show some light smudge marks and toning, but are otherwise in very attractive condition. We acquired a large collection of chess books over 40 years ago, most of which were kept packed away until the time of this listing - which is why the condition has the look and feel of a newer book.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 72 pages with diagrams and bibliography. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's stapled pictorial wrappers. Addendum laid in. First edition. The Taimanov Sicilian (also called the Paulsen Sicilian) is a variation of the Sicilian Defense, beginning with the moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 5. Nc3 Qc7. Unlike many other Sicilian lines, black leaves an open diagonal for the dark-squared bishop to develop on. Black also places the queen on the semi-open c-file. The queen is also a good guardian of the e5-square in the Taimanov Sicilian, preventing an early e4-e5 by white in some cases! Condition: Some age toning to edges, corners bumped and rubbed else very good.
