[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 |

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 » |

Cambridge Springs style trap
I'm sure most of us are aware of the dangers of the normal placing of a Bishop on d3 in the Cambridge Springs and some of us have even set the trap with the Black pieces.
In the 2014 World Junior... Started 10/19/14 at 10:58:23 by RdC |

QGD Lasker Defense 11. bxc3!?
After 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Be7 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bh4 O-O 7. e3 Ne4 8. Bxe7 Qxe7 9. Rc1 c6 10. Bd3 Nxc3, it seems that instead of the usual Rxc3, White has the interesting option of 11 bxc3!?...

QGD Vienna Variation 6.Bxc4 question, 8...Bd6
How is black doing in the line 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e4 Bb4 6.Bxc4 Nxe4 7.O-O Nxc3 8.bxc3 Bd6 ? Does black equalise here? I've looked at some of the positions and it looks interesting...

Anyway to get White advantage in this line?
1.d4 d5
2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e3 h6 6.Bh4 Nbd7 7.Nc3 dxc4(?! I always thought that it is bad to allow White to develop his bishop in 1 move) 8.Bxc4 a6 9... Started 12/26/10 at 14:45:07 by sssthepro |

QGD vs Ragozin
QC recently released two books that feature 1. d4 d5, Playing the Ragozin (via the "accelerated" move order) and Playing 1.d4 d5. The latter has received a great deal of attention, but the Ragozin boo...

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.

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 |

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 ...

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 |

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?

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 ...
