Jan-21-05    themindset: Well, i play this system from both sides of the board (although d4 is not a very frequent opening). But I never see 7...dxc4, nor do I play it. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Is it considered inferior? Feb-24-05    akashic: 7.dxc4 is indeed not an inferior move. After 8.Bxc4, 8.cxd4 9.exd4 an IQP position arises. After 9. b6 it is called the Karpov varation and it scores very well for black. Mar-15-05    e4Newman: i started fumbling through some caro-kann lines in the opening explorer, and i noticed e54 was listed as a possible transposition after 1.d4 c6 2.e4 d5. what's up with this? i play the nimzo and it doesn't seem possible to end up in an e3 gligoric after the line i mentioned. Dec-24-05    Jap: I love it; E54 is the Gligoric system, and he's played it 54 times! Dec-24-05    refutor: <e4newman> it is very possible. later on in the line Black plays ...cxd4 and then white plays exd4 it exchanges off black's c-pawn for white's e-pawn, similar to many lines of the panov-botwinnik (except white captures first). this is where the transposition takes place. e.g. 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nf3 Bb4 7.Bd3 dxc4 8.Bxc4 O-O 9.O-O transposes to 1.d4 nf6 2.c4 e6 3.nc3 bb4 4.e3 O-O 5.Nf3 d5 6.Bd3 c5 7.O-O dxc4 8.Bxc4 cxd4 9.exd4 Dec-15-11    Penguincw: Opening of the Day Nimzo-Indian, 4.e3, Gligoric System 1.d4 ♘f6 2.c4 e6 3.♘c3 ♗b4 4.e3 O-O 5.♘f3 d5 6.♗d3 c5 7.
