Andreikin-Kramnik, World Cup R3
Anyone else check out this game?
[pgn] [Event "FIDE World Chess Cup"] [Site "chess24.com"] [Date "2015.09.17"] [Round "19"] [White "Andreikin, Dmitry"] [Black "Kramnik...|/pgn] I am not an expert in the QGD by any means, but 9...c5!? seems kind of unusual, but interesting. At the very least I thought Kramnik's position was quite appealing after 16...Qc6. According to my understanding from the White side, 10.dxc5 should be tried. I wonder what Kramnik's idea was here? I analyzed quite a few ...d4 ideas after 10...Nc6, but nothing seemed to totally work. Black does have a lot of ways to head into 2B vs. 2N positions down a pawn, but I'm not sure about any of them. Will post more when I get home from work and have access to a database and computer. ![]() Started 09/17/15 at 18:18:29 by TonyRo |

Cambridge Spring still sound?
Hi chess friends. I am playing the semislav but I fear the Botvinnik and the antimoscow variations, so I am planning to face Bg5 with the Cambridge Spring. But I am concerned because very few people p...

cambridge springs
My next opponent plays cambridge springs; nowadays it´s played quite seldom, so I´m not familiar with the current theory, for example NCO evaluates this line between "=" and unclear.

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.

Cambridge Springs - Panczyk and Ilczuk
In their book, Panczyk and Ilczuk favour the line 7.Nd2 bxc4 because they consider 7...Bb4 8.Qc2 O-O 9.Be2 e5 10.dxe5 Ne4 11.Ncxe4 good for White (p.161).

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.

Can we have some coverage of this variation

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 |

Does 7...Nbd7 in the QGD have a name?
