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 3 all »	34	30107	11/24/23 at 20:51:29 By: Nernstian59
Ragozin/Manhattan 5.Bg5 Nbd7 Hey, do any of you guys have "The Ragozin Complex" by Barsky and knows if he covers 5...Nbd7 in it? This Line seems to not get much attention in general, do you know why? Started 05/13/20 at 13:55:39 by mxstoe	6	2792	08/20/23 at 19:50:04 By: kylemeister
Is the QGD Orthodox still allive? Right now I play the Semi-Slav using Shankland's course where he goes for the Cambridge Springs against Bg5 instead of the Botvinnik/Moscow sharp stuff. I'm around 1500 I was wondering if I could... Started 05/20/22 at 10:44:51 by doefmat « Pages 1 2 all »	20	3456	02/16/23 at 02:55:04 By: kylemeister
New option for black (D50) I ran across the game Benjamin-Nabaty, a speed game played in December 2020. It was selected and annotated by GM Glenn Flear for ChessPublishing. The opening sequence is one that I have never seen bef... Started 01/12/22 at 23:11:05 by FreeRepublic « Pages 1 2 all »	23	4292	12/10/22 at 21:11:55 By: FreeRepublic
Queen's Gambit Declined: Vienna I recently bought an older book in electronic format: https://everymanchess.com/products/queens-gambit-declined-vienna?_pos=2&_sid=e2c...

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 « Pages 1 2 all »	16	8464	05/19/22 at 22:54:21 By: FreeRepublic

Cambridge Springs Defense Is this still viable? Anyone know who the top players are who play this on a regular basis? Any theory changing novelties in the past few years?

Poll: Queen's Gambit for Black Perhaps black is spoiled for choices. After 4...Be7, black must prepare for both Bg5 and Bf4 systems. However each choice leaves white with choices in turn. Feel free to share your reasoning if you li... Started 09/09/21 at 15:40:06 by FreeRepublic	4	2251	01/24/22 at 10:07:03 By: GMTonyKosten
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...

Poll: Vienna or Ragozin After the moves 1d4 Nf6 2c4 e6 3Nf3 d5 4Nc3 Bb4 5Bg5, black can play 5...dxc, the Vienna variation, or 5...h6, the Ragozin variation.

Tartakower against 5. Bf4? The theory on 5. Bf4 mostly focuses on either the 6...Nbd7 or 6...c5 lines. Pardon my ignorance but why isn't the tartakower setup (1. d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bf4 0-0 6.e3 b6) played more ...

Ntirlis Playing 1 d4 d5 Why no Indian move order? Slightly over half of Nikolaos Ntirlis excellent book is about the QGD ( 9 chapters, 184 out of 335 pages ).

QGD mainline sources for white?

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. The latter has received a great deal of attention, but the Ragozin boo... Started 12/23/17 at 19:37:09 by Marcellus	14	15543	01/17/18 at 20:18:52 By: LeeRoth
