QGA Accelerated ...dxc5, ...Bf4 and even ...Nd7!?
I would reach this via a QGA move order because I'm not satisfied with Black's other choices after 3.Nf3.  However to stick with the Slav move order:
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 dxc4 4.a4 (second most ...

Book Recommendation for Chebanenko Slav

Why is the Classical Slav played so rarely?
I wonder why the classical Slav is played so rarely nowadays. It seems to me a perfectly reasonable choice against 1.d4 very solid and providing counter-chances as well. The number of games played in ...

Getting into Slav via 1. ... Nf6
Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong forum; this forum seemed like a better fit than d-pawn specials.
