Why does QGD score so poorly?
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering why the venerable QGD, often referred to as rock solid, shows such dismal statistics for black in nearly every line. Often, black doesn't even win 15% of the games and... Started 05/09/06 at 03:34:08 by Scott Rex(Guest) (Guest) « Pages 1 2 all » |

Can we have some coverage of this variation
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Bb4+ 5.Nbd2 dxc4.
It's not covered in any of the updates or the pdf ebooks. Started 10/14/17 at 16:12:28 by befuddled |

Has anyone heard about the Tartakower defence?
I remember that Karpov, Nigel Short even Kasparov and Fischer use to play the Tartakower and they got excellent results with it. What happened after that? Isn't the Tartakower good anymore? Was it ref...

Cambridge Springs
I have a reasonable book by Gambit on the Cambridge-Springs. This defence looks like an alternative to the very complex and theoretical Bg5 semi-slav.
However, if after Nbd7 by black, white plays... Started 05/17/05 at 14:05:13 by Fernando Semprun |

cambridge springs
My next opponent plays cambridge springs; nowadays it´s played quite seldom, so I´m not familiar with the current theory, for example NCO evaluates this line between "=" and unclear.

Orthodox QGD ("Semi-Slav Declined"): 5. Bg5 Be7
I've always wondered about the line 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. Bg5 Be7 (Semi-Slav Declined?!), which is a current favourite of M. Gurevich and popular at club level. imho this line has ...

Tartakower Defense
I was at a used book shop and came across a work by a J. Konikowski entitled Queens Gambit Tartakower System. A rather old work but I picked it up since this defense has always intrigued me. I'M rathe...

Cambridge Spring still sound?
Hi chess friends. I am playing the semislav but I fear the Botvinnik and the antimoscow variations, so I am planning to face Bg5 with the Cambridge Spring. But I am concerned because very few people p...

Ragozin
Picking up on a suggestion by Inn2 and others, I'm thinking about taking up the Ragozin to accompany the Nimzo-Indian against 1.d4. In addition to the ebooks here, can anyone recommend key literature...

Does 7...Nbd7 in the QGD have a name?
I mean in the position where Black normally chooses between 7...Ne4 (Lasker) or 7...b6 (Tartakower/TMB system).
The closest I have come to finding a name is in Matthew Sadler's QGD book where he... Started 02/28/16 at 23:49:10 by Methodchess |

Be2, Bxf6, cxd in Tartakower
I find the Tartakower defence annoying when I, as White, take immediately on d5 after ...b6. I see the latest from the top-GMs, with most success for White, is to play 8.Be2, and then, after Bb7, to t...

Ragozin/Manhattan 5.Bg5 Nbd7
Hey, do any of you guys have "The Ragozin Complex" by Barsky and knows if he covers 5...Nbd7 in it? This Line seems to not get much attention in general, do you know why?

Lasker Defense
Just a request for GM Scherbakov to update his excellent survey of the Lasker Defense from 9/04.
Also, if anyone regular places the Lasker, let's start a thread on it: 1 d4 d5; 2 c4 e6; 3 Nc3 Be7... Started 03/12/05 at 12:12:47 by cma6 |

Tartakower against 5. Bf4?
The theory on 5. Bf4 mostly focuses on either the 6...Nbd7 or 6...c5 lines. Pardon my ignorance but why isn't the tartakower setup (1. d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bf4 0-0 6.e3 b6) played more ...
