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?

I'm looking at Flear's suggestion 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 Bb4!? from Dangerous Weapons: Queen's Gambit after I realized that if this works, the Ragozin 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4....

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... Started 01/30/20 at 07:19:03 by IsaVulpes |

Dubov's 7...cxd Tarrasch
What did you all think about his approach against Nakamura in the gran prix? I have a soft spot for the Tarrasch and this would certainly cut down on theory since it deviates relatively early from th...

5. Bf4 with ...c5
I noticed this game from today; one might wonder what to make of it. Some background: the classical ...c5 has been under something of a cloud in recent years. The ...Re8/...e5/...Nd4 idea goes bac...

Does the Bf4 QGD have a generally accepted name ?
Ntirlis Playing 1 d4 d5 has chapters 2a & 2b on "Bf4 QGD". He gives line to tabiya on p 73 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Nf3 Be7 5 Bf4 My copy has misprint '4 Nc3'. Chapter 2a is a disjointed discourse ...

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...

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... Started 12/31/19 at 14:51:48 by IsaVulpes « Pages 1 2 all » |

6.dxc5 Nf6!? in the Tarrasch
Hey guys.
I always found the 6.dxc5 line in the Tarrasch (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.dxc5!) to be slightly annoying.

Best book on d4 sidelines for QGD Tarrasch player?

QG Exchange after 3.cxd5!?
Because I am not a regular 1.d4 player I was wondering what the downside is of 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.cxd5 instead of 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5. I saw that last night at my local club, but it is almost never played...
