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	1722	07/11/18 at 13:38:06 By: FreeRepublic

Can we have some coverage of this variation 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Bb4+ 5.Nbd2 dxc4. It's not covered in any of the updates or the pdf ebooks. Started 10/14/17 at 16:12:28 by befuddled	1	652	10/14/17 at 17:27:40 By: BadDays

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	15525	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	3270	10/21/16 at 04:47:53 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?

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	2224	02/29/16 at 03:11:52 By: Methodchess

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	1561	09/18/15 at 19:11:37 By: nocteus

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.
