Dec-02-04    EnglishOpeningc4: And you wonder why no one plays the orthodox any more lol Oct-22-05    morphyvsfischer: It's because the orthodox is so drawish and any winning chances left rest with white. Therefore, a better way to play the QGD is the Tartakower, which is a very good defense for new players to learn against 1 d4. Apr-09-07    gambitfan: http://playchess.de/games/HCL-T341-3 Apr-11-07    gambitfan: This opening looks very boring and old fashioned... Why ? Apr-11-07    KingG: I don't know, but bizarrely a lot of people i play online actually transpose into this from a Semi-Slav, in order to avoid the Botvinnik or Moscow variations. Although in that case, i usually go for Q-side castling instead of Rc1. Apr-13-07    gambitfan: michail
