Isn't there a discussion about this somewhere else?  I really don't know, but I thought we have discussed Bd6 (Ld6) in similar positions of the QGD elsewhere.

It's Kaufman recommendation in "The Chess Advantage in Black and White". He gives Jussupov - Zvjaginsev, Essen 2002 as the stem game.

Isn't this the new mainline of the Meran? One friend of mine told me that this line has replaced all the older lines (8 ... Bb7, 8 ... a6 and 8 ... b4). My friend says that white haven't yet found a way to advantage against 8 ... Bd6! and he have abandoned the system with 6. Bd3.  Have this status changed lately?

Zviagintsev has played it quite much. One of the key ideas is to play e5 as a response to e4.
  

Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

I'm looking at 8..Ld6!? in the Meran System. Which are the key games to look at? Who plays this with Black?
What are the ideas?

Thanks for any help.

John
