Ragozin Repertoire trick to avoid QG Exchange So, what is a Ragozin player to do if he wants to avoid the QG exchange? I have been playing the NID move order (Nf6, e6, Bb4). I play an early d5 in response to Nf3, Qc2 or e3 aiming to minimize repe... Started 05/14/14 at 18:15:18 by Noofangled « Pages 1 2 all »	21	10413	01/18/17 at 23:09:02 By: MarinFan
Queen's Gambit... exchange and black is lost! All the books of opening theory suggest exchange variation against the QGD (so it must be very strong and easy to play) .

QGD: 3...Nf6 vs 3...Be7 I heard from many sources, like Seirawan commenting in Sinquefield Cup and NM Dereque Kelley in one of his youtube videos, suggesting that after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3, 3...Be7 is more accurate than [b]3...Nf Started 10/03/16 at 15:52:21 by zytsang	10	1395	10/21/16 at 05:47:53 By: kylemeister
Omit 5...h6 in the Tartakower? Is there any drawback to playing 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e3 0-0 6.Nf3 b6? I don't think I've ever come across this line before without ...h6, and I was wondering if there was a problem w...

Does 7...Nbd7 in the QGD have a name? I mean in the position where Black normally chooses between 7...Ne4 (Lasker) or 7...b6 (Tartakower/TMB system). The closest I have come to finding a name is in Matthew Sadler's QGD book where he... Started 02/28/16 at 23:49:10 by Methodchess	4	1117	02/29/16 at 03:11:52 By: Methodchess
Early c5 in Tartakower The opening of today's game in Qatar by Kramnik caught my eye. Actually he played it last year in Qatar as well and a handful of his elite colleagues have been giving it a try. With the first ga... Started 12/24/15 at 13:43:46 by RdC	2	829	01/06/16 at 14:41:34 By: TN
Andreikin-Kramnik, World Cup R3 Anyone else check out this game? [pgn] [Event "FIDE World Chess Cup"] [Site "chess24.com"] [Date "2015.09.17"] [Round "19"] [White "Andreikin, Dmitry"] [Black "Kramnik...\|/pgn] I am not an expert in the QGD by any means, but 9...c5!? seems kind of unusual, but interesting. At the very least I thought Kramnik's position was quite appealing after 16...Qc6. According to my understanding from the White side, 10.dxc5 should be tried. I wonder what Kramnik's idea was here? I analyzed quite a few ...d4 ideas after 10...Nc6, but nothing seemed to totally work. Black does have a lot of ways to head into 2B vs. 2N positions down a pawn, but I'm not sure about any of them. Will post more when I get home from work and have access to a database and computer. Started 09/17/15 at 19:18:29 by TonyRo	1	904	09/18/15 at 20:11:37 By: nocteus
D56: Computer's 7...a6 in QGD Orthodox Variation.

How to combat the Lasker Variation? Hi, I hate admitting this, but the Lasker Variation (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Nc3 h6 6.Bh4 Ne4) is giving me a terrible headache.

Cambridge springs/ QGD / Semi-Slav sideline I´m preparing to play the 5.Bg5 Semi-Slav and here Black can play 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 e6 5.Bg5 Nbd7 which converts into the QGD-Cambridge-Springs system.
