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? Started 05/13/20 at 13:55:39 by mxstoe	5	681	09/12/20 at 16:15:59 By: FreeRepublic

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...

QGD mainline sources for white? Hello everyone, It seems like all the recent repertoire books are for black, whereas authors from the white side always recommend the exchange variation or the Catalan. I'm interested in pla...

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... Started 12/23/17 at 19:37:09 by Marcellus	14	9677	01/17/18 at 20:18:52 By: LeeRoth

Ragozin Repertoire trick to avoid QG Exchange So, what is a Ragozin player to do if he wants to avoid the QG exchange? I have been playing the NID move order (Nf6, e6, Bb4). I play an early d5 in response to Nf3, Qc2 or e3 aiming to minimize repe... Started 05/14/14 at 17:15:18 by Noofangled « Pages 1 2 all »	21	21565	01/18/17 at 23:09:02 By: MarinFan

QGD: 3...Nf6 vs 3...Be7 I heard from many sources, like Seirawan commenting in Sinquefield Cup and NM Dereque Kelley in one of his youtube videos, suggesting that after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3, 3...Be7 is more accurate than [b]3...Nf Started 10/03/16 at 14:52:21 by zytsang	10	5380	10/21/16 at 04:47:53 By: kylemeister

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).
