I had a rough time against this defense Game 2909724,I pretty much did what I wanted to do, but I really dont see how I should go about attacking black, any suggestions?

My strategy was to take over d5 and slap a rook on the 7th rank, which I did, but my opponent didnt see that capturing on d5 created a connected passed pawn, and I think I should have won from that point
I'm giving you a rec just for your avatar - the movie was pretty good too. 🙂

That looks kind of fun actually - black just attacks mad on the queenside while white takes the center.

Not really my style, but interesting nonetheless.

One of the best known games in this opening are game between Karpov and Miles in 1980 when Miles won using this opening.
