Fritz Trainer: Repertoire vs QGD w/4.Bg5 w/Panneerselvam

The Queen's Gambit Declined is one of the most popular and respected openings at every level — from club players to World Champions. Its reputation for solidity makes it a tough nut to crack. But with 4.Bg5 — the classical main line that dominated World Championship play from the 1920s onwards — White has a wealth of new ideas that Black must handle precisely.

In this Fritz Trainer course, the author provides a complete White repertoire against all of Black's options after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3. The ideas are both objectively strong and highly practical, designed to be easy to remember and apply. Against sidelines, White achieves a clear advantage; against the main lines, a pleasant position that demands precise defence from Black.
