What do QGA players do against 1.d4 2.Nf3 or 1.c4? Essentially: - If Black plays the KID, then Black can play Nf6, g6, Bg7, O-O, d6 against everything. - If Black plays the QGD, then Black can play d5, e6, Nf6, Be7, O-O against everything.<b...

3 Nf3 a6 Are there any theoretical problems with the line [1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4] 3 Nf3 a6 - ? I've begun looking at it, and it seems like a rather attractive solution to Black's problems: A) 4 e3 - by far th... Started 03/10/17 at 22:55:45 by fdunne	13	5743	04/06/23 at 19:00:32 By: kylemeister

The Billenger's Gambit I just found out about a new gambit line in the QGA and it's so new that none of my chess books mention it called the Billenger's Gambit. I haven't seen the Chesspublishing site post any theoretical a... Started 08/16/20 at 01:20:14 by HagenWatch1	4	1945	08/16/20 at 04:52:42 By: kylemeister
QGA 3. e4 e5 4. Nf3 responses There are two responses that I am considering, one is the immediate 4. ...exd4 and the other is to first give a check with 4. ...Bb4+ and then maybe play exd4.

Why isn't the QGA more popular? Hi ChessForum, I am really wondering why the QGA is not more popular. Theorically it seems to be in good shape and the theory to learn, compared to other defenses, is relatively small. ...

QGA 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bg4 Hi! I spent some time analysing an interesting sideline in the QGA: 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bg4. Avrukh avoids it by suggesting 3.e3, and iirc he mentions that he didn't find a white advantage after some ... Started 05/15/11 at 10:29:22 by huibui	8	9333	07/14/17 at 05:22:24 By: exigentsky

Delaying ...c5 The main thing putting me off the QGA is the boring dxc5 endgame variation, but recently I saw some games by Evgeny Postny as black, where instead of 5... c5, he played a6/b5/Bb7/Nbd7 and only then ..... Started 12/11/16 at 16:59:43 by Monocle	7	5559	12/23/16 at 00:00:20 By: LeeRoth
Queen's Gambit Accepted This defense doesn't seem to be getting any love these days. It's not played often at a high level, and there seem to be few discussions of it on this forum. Any specific reasons? A few years ago... Started 09/29/11 at 20:55:15 by Seth_Xoma « Pages 1 2 3 all »	30	42427	11/12/16 at 10:48:26 By: chessfreak

New idea in the QGA There's a remarkable game by the French GM Edouard from the 4NCL last weekend. Against Jon Hammer, he took the pawn on c4 and then defended it with an immediate b5.

Sam Collins DVD on QGA I bought this DVD this week. It is interesting enough, looks like a low-maintenance repertoire that leads to solid positions (if slightly passive at times).

Are you really prepared for the QGA This opening really seems to be ideal for amateur play(sub 2400 elo), which is 99% of the chess community. When I say Ideal I am implying that it seems that many white players just aren't prepared for... Started 12/01/11 at 19:18:14 by Reverse	4	6725	12/02/11 at 14:28:36 By: Reverse
Smyslov Variation, QGA I wonder if this variation of the QGA has ever attracted anyone's attention here besides my own. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 g6 5.Bxc4 Bg7 with the idea ...Nfd7, ...Nb6.
