I have played the Torre Attack and the Colle System and Trompowsky, London System, the Veresov to avoid the main lines with 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 & 1.d4 d5 2.c4, However noone can deny that if you are playing for a win you must learn the main lines. The side line openings are good for beginers but not for real tournament players. Since playing the main lines I have an excellent record with White. You must fight for the initiative otherwise black will equalize quickly. The main lines wont be refuted easily either. Thanks Andrew

I don´t see any special move-order related problems for White. You should not forget though that neither(!) of the systems you mentioned above except for the 150 attack or the Torre vs. Ben-oni promises anything for White. Actually it shouldn´t be too difficult to get an equal position with White, shouldn´t it? So just play your systems but don´t complain if experienced opponents will equalize with relative ease.

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