Why do people still avoid the Exchange QGD? In top level games the vast majority of QGD games are arising via the Nimzo move order or 3...Be7, while in the rare cases 3...Nf6 is played, white players nearly exclusively play the Exchange Variati...

QGD mainline sources for white? Hello everyone, It seems like all the recent repertoire books are for black, whereas authors from the white side always recommend the exchange variation or the Catalan. I'm interested in pla...

Cambridge Springs - Panczyk and Ilczuk In their book, Panczyk and Ilczuk favour the line 7.Nd2 bxc4 because they consider 7...Bb4 8.Qc2 O-O 9.Be2 e5 10.dxe5 Ne4 11.Ncxe4 good for White (p.161). However, in the ChessPub ebook on the QG... Started 02/21/08 at 22:01:28 by Justinhorton	4	2134	07/11/18 at 13:38:06 By: FreeRepublic
QGD vs Ragozin QC recently released two books that feature 1. d4 d5, Playing the Ragozin (via the "accelerated" move order) and Playing 1.d4 d5.

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 17:15:18 by Noofangled « Pages 1 2 all »	21	16980	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 14:52:21 by zytsang	10	3794	10/21/16 at 04:47:53 By: kylemeister

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	2557	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	1602	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 18:18:29 by TonyRo	1	1767	09/18/15 at 19:11:37 By: nocteus
