Originally posted by KorchLooks like the London System to me, except for the Nc3 - knight seems a bit misplaced there blocking the c-pawn and not doing anything at all. Negi solved the problem for him though by exchanging it for one of his bishops.

Korch - why don't you like d4. I've been playing that for a while with great success, but over the last week or so, haven't been getting the results I'm looking for.
Care to share?

I`m playing 1.d4 sometimes. For example:
Game 3924015
Game 3716954
Game 3955816
Game 3716953
Game 3924138
Game 3686193

I think the Exchange variation is the best way to counter the Queen's Gambit. Its a little off topic but we're talking about openings. Does anyone else share this view? I personally think it's the main way for white to retain an advantage and winning chances against the drawish opening.

Originally posted by MoneyMaker7I like to attack with the QGD and castle queenside. Those lines don't feel very drawish at all.
