Feb-16-04    Benjamin Lau: Jonathan vs Yedidia, 1982 is a funny trap in this opening. Question: how come black doesn't play 5...Nxd5 6 e4 Nf6!? in the D41 Semi-Tarrasch? Because of Bg5? Because black doesn't want to waste time? Is that really all there is? I don't see anything wrong with this on first glance, but it doesn't appear to be a line anyone has tried. Feb-16-04    refutor: i think it's that black doesn't want to waste time...look at the position after 7.Be3 for instance...what does black have to show for his tempi? white is much better developed and has better control of the center, much easier to play for white Jul-07-05    Knight13: <White wins 38.7%> <Black wins 14.7%> <Draws 46.6%> Black barely wins. Does this opening give Black trouble or what? Is it playable for Black? Aug-01-06    gambitfan: it seems to give a crushing advantage to White, doesn't it ? May-06-08    KingG: I like playing this opening after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 c5 7.Nf3 cxd4 8.cxd4 Bb4+ 9.Bd2 Bxd2+(9...Qa5?, Rubinstein vs Schlechter, 1912) 10.Qd2 0-0 11.Bc4, and then the main line runs something like 11...Nc6(11...Nd7) 12.0-0 b6 13.Rad1 Na5(13...b6) 14.Bd3 Bb7 15.Rfe1, and then White has two interesting plans, either trying to promote his d pawn, as in Spassky vs Petrosian, 1969, or even better Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1977, and attacking Black's King with the pawn sacrifice d5, followed by e5, as in Polugaevsky vs Tal, 1969. Either way, you get an interesting game, where White has a nice initiative, but Black has winning chances of his own if White slips up. Jul-29-10    rapidcitychess: <gambitfan> This is when Black doesn't play Nxd5. That is why it's a low percentage. Feb-22-12    Penguincw: Opening of the Day Queen's Gambit Declined, Semi-Tarrasch 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.♘c3 ♘f6 4.♘f3 c5 click for larger view Feb-08-15    Mr. V: Perhaps a more experienced player can tell me: why do people consider . . .exd5 dubious in this position? Feb-08-15    perfidious: <Mr. V> See Alekhine vs L Kussman, 1924 for an object lesson in what may befall Black after 5....exd5.
