Cambridge Springs Defense
Is this still viable? Anyone know who the top players are who play this on a regular basis? Any theory changing novelties in the past few years?
The only point of reference I have on this line i... Started 03/29/11 at 05:14:37 by Reverse « Pages 1 2 3 all » |

Carlsen spoke of 'The Berlin of 1.d4?'
Yesterday Carlsen spoke of 'the berlin vs 1.d4' in the Champion Chess Tour final vs Wesley So. What line is this exactly? I didn't see all the games.

[5...Bb4 Vienna] Maybe fine for Black?
One of the main issues for Black in the Vienna was this line where White generates a very strong attack for the cost of 1 pawn:
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e4 Bb4 6. Bxc4 Nxe4 7. ... Started 04/21/25 at 12:07:23 by Cyberangel |

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 |

QGD Orthodox Defence
Hello,
I am not finding the orthodox QGD (D60-D69). I am sure it is somewhere, I would expect it in the queensgambitdeclined ebook, but this stops at the lasker defence. Actually I want to p... Started 02/10/06 at 17:02:28 by adal(Guest) (Guest) |

Why do people still avoid the Exchange QGD?
In top level games the vast majority of QGD games are arising via the Nimzo move order or 3...Be7, while in the rare cases 3...Nf6 is played, white players nearly exclusively play the Exchange Variati...

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?

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 ...

Queen's Gambit for Black
Perhaps black is spoiled for choices. After 4...Be7, black must prepare for both Bg5 and Bf4 systems. However each choice leaves white with choices in turn. Feel free to share your reasoning if you li...
