The Modernized Vienna of the Queens Gambit Declined by Fernando Peralta
A Complete Opening Repertoire for Black Featuring Del Rios 5b5!?

The primary goal of this work is not to recount a story or to acknowledge the creative efforts of a friend, although those are satisfying perks I allow myself. This is a theoretical book about a chess variation that (it could not be otherwise) I will call the Del Rio Variation. It is one of the most fascinating openings that can be played today, leading almost immediately to highly dynamic and complex positions. Additionally, it can be set up quite easily. For example, after 1.d4 Nf6 (1d5 is another possible move order to reach the same position) 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 (from 1.d4 all of Whites moves are the most popular). Then 4dxc4, establishing the Vienna Variation. Here, White can only fight for an advantage with 5.e4. Until a few years ago, the main lines continued with 5Bb4 6.Bg5 c5, or the dangerous gambit 6.Bc4!? Nxe4 7.0-0.

This book is especially focused on Blacks perspective and aims to provide you with all the necessary material to successfully employ this variation. You will find theory, exemplary games, deep analyses, conceptual explanations, and many novel ideas that have yet to see the light of day in practice. I have held nothing back in writing this book, and I hope you enjoy it.
