Unfortunately since 1990 Black has been doing very well with the aggressive plan a5, a4, Qa5 and b5.


Ward's Play the Queen's Gambit (2006) does deal with these counterattacks / race situations. Though admittedly it's not the deepest theory book ever, and I've found these opposite castling variations quite tricky to handle the few times I've tried them with White. As far as I recall White gets decent results with most of them in the database though.

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

The Carlsbad isn't that quiet, certainly not the Nge2 lines. White can even castle long in many of them, and there are also lines that combine Nf3 with 0-0-0 - Chris Ward's old repertoire book on the Queen's Gambit discussed several sharp setups with opposite castling.

Incidentally a repertoire book much older than that (from 35 years ago, by Raymond Keene) featured Nge2 with long castling, using such games as Spielmann-Sir George Thomas and Christiansen-Spassky.

Alatortsew seems sharper. Perhaps something White does not want when trying to get the quiet Carlsbad.

And the Alatortsev is only really sharp if White starts throwing g- and h-pawns forward. If White plays the alternative setups with Bd3/Nge2 or Nge2-g3, the Alatortsev is the calmer variation.

Marin's 2th database released today for QGD.

He gives 3...Ae7 move order. I wonder if is more popular now ¿ I thought that Ntirlis solved at least the problem with 3...Cf6 of the Carlsbad with White knight on e2 structure with Black setup with knight on h5 and exchanging bishops.

Alatortsew seems sharper. Perhaps something White does not want when trying to get the quiet Carlsbad.

I see he gives 6...b6 in the 5. Af4 variation, just like Ntirlis.

In any case, much more interesting than that endgame line (3. Cc3 Cf6 4. cxd5 exd5 5. Ag5 c6 6. e3 Af5 7. Df3) where Black gets to develop the bitchop on f5, yet gets a busted pawn structure. I have no idea why the hell that line so popular with elite GMs. Glad it is not recommended in his database  Cheesy

Well, I can think of at least four publications recently that went for ...Nbd7 and ...c5, so the choice of the Tartakower makes a lot of sense.

@Mods
Better to change the title into Roman alphabet.

@ forumites
Its an EIL paradigm here - English as an International Language.
Just about everyone manages this, and it’s good if we can all keep to clear English, to be mutually understood. 

@ Trotsky
It’s perhaps easier for others if you keep to ‘B’ for Bishop etc
