Queens Gambit Declined vs Slav/Semi Slav
(sh.itjust.works)
For black, between QGD and Slav/Semi-slav, which do you prefer and why? I am trying to understand what is appealing on both sides and why you make the tradeoff of potentially blocking in the your light square bishop. Personally, I respond with the Nimzo Indian as black, and when playing as white I hope for QGA or Catalan.
You know, I keep hearing about the Nimzo Indian, but I've never looked it up. You may have just given me my next defense to study!
