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...

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 |

Queen's Gambit... exchange and black is lost!
All the books of opening theory suggest exchange variation against the QGD (so it must be very strong and easy to play) . Super GM begin their games as if they are going to play Nimzo and only once 3....

The Ragozin QGD
You know, I like these forums a lot, but there doen't seem to be a great deal of variety of openings discussed (for instance, here it's mainly Slavs). Anyway, I'd like to know if there're any new ide...

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 |

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...

Early c5 in Tartakower
The opening of today's game in Qatar by Kramnik caught my eye. Actually he played it last year in Qatar as well and a handful of his elite colleagues have been giving it a try.

Tartakower QGD
Hello everybody,
I have a quick (and probably naive) question regarding the QGD Tartakower variation. As I've tried to choose my response as black to d4, I have looked through a couple of books ... Started 07/30/04 at 17:13:06 by Scott Rex (Guest) « Pages 1 2 all » |

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 |
