Why does QGD score so poorly?
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering why the venerable QGD, often referred to as rock solid, shows such dismal statistics for black in nearly every line. Often, black doesn't even win 15% of the games and... Started 05/09/06 at 03:34:08 by Scott Rex(Guest) (Guest) « Pages 1 2 all » |

Ragozin for white: Carlsen & Dreev play Qa4+
Hi!
I was just looking up alternatives to the move order: 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 e6 3.c4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.cd5 and came across the relatively rare 5.Qa4!? I had thought such an approach was hamfisted, but I saw Dreev and Carl... Started 08/29/09 at 14:34:31 by Smyslov_Fan |

Cambridge Springs style trap
I'm sure most of us are aware of the dangers of the normal placing of a Bishop on d3 in the Cambridge Springs and some of us have even set the trap with the Black pieces.
In the 2014 World Junior... Started 10/19/14 at 10:58:23 by RdC |

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 |

QGD: 3...Nf6 vs 3...Be7
