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 »	35	42465	12/29/25 at 22:47:26 By: Nernstian59
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 3 4 all »	55	47142	11/24/25 at 11:10:53 By: MarinFan
[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	2	530	04/21/25 at 22:30:26 By: Cyberangel
Coverage of Ragozin variation ? Hello, I couldn't find any coverage of the Ragozin variation (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Bb4) in the d4 d5 section, nor in the Nimzo section. What is the current assessment of the varia... Started 09/25/04 at 02:19:40 by hicetnunc	4	4737	01/05/05 at 14:15:36 By: Markovich
QGD, typical position I researched (NCO) a line of the QGD that goes: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Nf3 0-0 7. Rc1 h6 8. Bh4 a6 9. cxd5 exd5 10. Bd3 c6 11. 0-0 Ne4 12.

Tartakover Variation - best ressources?

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.

Vienna 1.d4 d4 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.e4 Bb4 6.Bxc4!? Ruslan has annotated a couple of games in this line recently. Is it experiencing a renaissance as a way of posing Black some problems in th... Started 11/24/07 at 00:24:03 by HgMan	2	2451	11/24/07 at 20:57:16 By: HgMan
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	1877	01/17/18 at 20:18:52 By: LeeRoth
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	0	3016	10/19/14 at 10:58:23 By: RdC
Ragozin for white: Carlsen & Dreev play Qa4+ Hi! I was just looking up alternatives to the move order: 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 e6 3.c4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.cd5 and came across the relatively rare 5.Qa4!? I had thought such an approach was hamfisted, but I saw Dreev and Carl... Started 08/29/09 at 14:34:31 by Smyslov_Fan	4	5024	08/30/09 at 16:18:13 By: kylemeister
Good Reply to Tartakower can someone suggest a good way to deal with tartakower? I have been losing a lot of games lately. I play the Bxf6 line. Started 05/30/07 at 05:16:24 by sssthepro « Pages 1 2 all »	28	19943	08/23/07 at 05:53:11 By: lnn2

How to combat the Lasker Variation? Hi, I hate admitting this, but the Lasker Variation (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Nc3 h6 6.Bh4 Ne4) is giving me a terrible headache.

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	9	6764	05/23/05 at 22:04:13 By: TopNotch
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	13	6279	04/06/24 at 13:58:33 By: FreeRepublic
I still remember a defence called Tartakower! Long, long ago I bought a book about the slav. I tried it because I wanted to surprise my friends... everyone played the Tartakower.

recourses for QGD Vienna Hello, can someone point me to some material on the QGD Vienna variation? I've got Lalic QGD: Bg5 systems form 2000 but I would like some more recent sources.

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... Started 05/05/08 at 01:53:47 by Pingudon	11	10272	05/20/08 at 18:10:06 By: kylemeister
