QGE - Second pig ignorant question
Everyone knows that after 1 d4 d5 c4 e6 3 Nf3 Nf6 White can't get a proper QGE because Black can develop his queen's bishop to f5, right?

Alatortsev coverage
I'd like to request some Alatortsev coverage.  It looks to me like there are only three annotated games with 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Be7 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bf4, and no games that cover 5...Nf6.  Perhaps an u...
