I love to play d4 🙂 While playing black, my response to d4 would have been f5, trying to enter a Dutch system, but is has proven to be unreliable at times, so a simple d5, e6, or d5 then dxc4, accepting the gambit would be more appropriate... here are a few games illustrating the ideas behind d4.:

Originally posted by adam warlockI think you're right going with how you feel about an opening rather than looking for absolute proof. To me the openings are going to be a long relationship - so a bit of love and passion will help you over the rough times.
And that's because I don't feel that comfortable giving up a bishop for a knight. The doubled pawns are well positioned and open up a file for the rook. That seems to be a good compensation.
However, when the day finally arrives that I'm happy with my Nimzo (my choice against d4 - also handy if someone enters the Tromp (1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5) as I'm learning that as white) then I may allow myself a little affair with the tango: -
1.d4...Nf6
2.c4...Nc6
3.Nc3...e5
4.d5...Ne7
5.g3!?...Ng6
6.Bg2...Bc5
7.e3...0-0
8.Nge2...a6
9.0-0...d6
10.Bd2...Bd7
11.Rb1...b5!
It's dynamic and perhaps perhaps not so well known as blacks other choices...
Some of it's leading players are:
IM Georgi Orlov, GM Viorel Bologan, Nikolai Vlassov - also I've an excellent book on it by IM Richard Palliser - but have had to set this aside for a while until I've made some more progress with the rest of my repertoire and general chess knowledge.
Originally posted by MahoutI'll try to see where this leads me. I'll setupa board and get a feel for it for myself and then I'll try that against somebody else.
