Opening Tip:

Everything seems to go black's way in this game. White is stuck with pawns at e3 and d4. Meanwhile, black is able to restrain and then block the centre with seemingly natural moves, giving him a free hand on the kingside.

It should be noted that this variation can be reached via a QID, as in the game Carvalho Jr vs Vescovi, or a Nimzo-Indian, as seen in Utnasunov vs Sultanov.

What can we take away from comparing these games? I much prefer the blocked centre as we see in the current game; it has some resemblance to A Utnasunov vs Alexander V Sultanov, 2000. Both games see black's plan of playing 9...Qe7. However, in C Carvalho Jr vs G Vescovi, 2000, black plays 9... Be7, and later we see exchanges in the centre, releasing black's LSB. So, even if there centre opens, there's potential for black to have great activity and central control.

Please share your insights or references if you're familiar with this position:

It can be reached via many transpositions, and it seems to score well for black.

May-08-23  sudoplatov: Black's early attacks on the Queenside Black Squares are similar to Capablanca's in the QGD for both sides. Some of the games against Marshall, Lasker, and Bernstein come to mind. Capablanca liked to attack the weakened squares around a Queenside Fianchetto.
