As an alternative, he also provides a backup repertoire with 4.Qb3. The main repertoire suggested by GM Delchev is based on 4.Qc2. The starting position of his survey arises after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6
In the current database, GM Aleksander Delchev builds a positional repertoire for White. Since there is no way to achieve an objective advantage, White shall try to create practical problems and outplay in opponent in strategically complex positions. Building a repertoire for White is really challenging. Therefore, this opening has always been an evergreen choice in high-level chess. The Slav Defence is one of the most solid ways to meet 1.d4. GM Aleksander Delchev Friday, February 21, 2020 At some point, this move was a bit in the shadow of the solid 6.Nbd7 but recently it began to gain popularity again thanks to top GMs Nakamura, Caruana and Anand first of all. In this database, I decided to analyse Queen's Gambit Declined from Black's point of view and chose the most straightforward way to challenge the main move 5.Bf4 (after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bf4) with 6.c5!?. Nevertheless, I suppose that it perfectly suits my style and chess philosophy. Strangely enough, yours truly almost never played Queen's Gambit Declined with Black. If in the old days it was considered safe to allow the Carlsbad Variation after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 d5, nowadays most modern maestros tend to avoid typical Carlsbad pawn chains with Black and opt for 3.d5 only in response to 3.Nf3. This opening was employed by almost all old maestros including Morphy, Chigorin and Steinitz as well as by modern super grandmasters like Carlsen, Ananda, Caruana and many others.ĭifferent move orders were popular at different times.
Like no other it passed the test of centuries of chess practice. The Queen's Gambit Declined is truly a lifetime opening. In the introduction to the current database, GM Eljanov writes:
