i think your're right.  i'm not going to try to work the veresov into my repetoire because the 'best' veresov variations for black challenge the center right away, where sometimes my 2. Nf3 is poorly placed.  i'm ready to give the queen's gambit a shot instead.

I just picked up Nigel Davies' excellent book "The Veresov".  It's a great introduction.  I'm interested in using this opening against queen's pawn defenses.  Does anyone have any good web-links where i might find more theory or discussion?

I have always opened with 1. d4 and 2. Nf3.  Against indian systems (an early Nf6, but no d5) i have always had good luck with the Torre Attack (3. Bg5).  Unfortunately, the Torre is useless against an early d5.  I tried the london system against d5, but unlike the Torre, it usally leads to awfully stale positions with no advantage to white.  I don't want to spend the time learning reams of theory to play the queen's gambit well.

It seems the Veresov system make a perfect compliment to the Torre.  They both have a reputation for being a little off-beat, but are fundamentally solid.  Since they both use the bishop at g5 and aim for a timely advance of the e pawn, the veresov should be easy for me to learn.  

Can anyone point out any trouble i might run into playing the following opening repetoire.  My goal is to strive for the classical center if allowed.  As soon as black posts his Nf6 i play Bg5:

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 - 150 attack vs. Pirc
1. d4 d6 2. e4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Nf3 - 150 attack vs. Pirc

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bg5 - Torre Attack
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 b6 3. Bg5 - Torre vs. Queen's Indian

1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 - Veresov
1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Bg5 - Veresov vs. QGD
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 Bf4 4. Bg5 - Veresov vs. London
