Unusual lines in the Exchange QGD After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 c6 6.Qc2 h6 7.Bh4, the moves 7...g6 and 7...Be6 both look interesting. I'm curious as to why neither of them are commonly played - in the rare cases s... Started 06/03/19 at 16:33:09 by stockhausen	7	3726	06/10/26 at 13:08:53 By: FreeRepublic

Belated Recognition There are many books and articles on the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange variation. Viewed from the Black side, I find it endlessly fascinating. It's strong enough that Black is strongly challenged. ... Started 02/20/24 at 01:43:14 by FreeRepublic	4	1705	11/19/25 at 15:43:40 By: MarinFan
[QGD Exchange]5...Bb4 idea for Black dead again? Hello everybody, I was playing a lot of Catalan and 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 a couple years ago simply because I like the control that White has and seemingly very little count...

Semi-Tarrasch ? Anybody any idea where I might get hold of some good information (typical plans and pitfalls) about this opening ? It seems as if there is absolutely no literature available (?!)... Started 03/23/05 at 05:25:52 by elspringer	10	9505	07/12/25 at 10:10:26 By: MarinFan

Semitarrasch (with 6.g3/6.e3/6.e4) ECO D41 Hello, I 'm interested in that GM Scherbakov could indicate the state of the theory in this old opening. I have not seen games analyzed in your site yet.

QGD Exchange game I played a QGD exchange game last Friday, and felt that I had got a good position, but I was never able to make anything of it.

Von hennig schara gambit Can this gambit be avoided by playing 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 c5 4 cxd5 cxd4 5 Nxd4? In this case is there a transposition into the Tarrasch or does black have better options?

5..Nf6 Tarrasch Hi, Aside from the general "revolution" of going ..cxd4 ..Bc5, Carlsen/Dubov played a different fresh / old-but-perhaps-not-as-bad-as-once-thought line in the World Rapid/Blitz, namely 5..Nf6.<br...

Who do you play the Tarrasch against? Hi, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for this opening, as it's rather unique nature of being a one-size-fits-all approach (working against 1.Nf3 & 1.c4 as well), mixed with dynamic play (unli...
