{ Hello everyone! I recently did a study on the Queen's Gambit with white pieces, so today I will teach you how to face this popular gambit! One of the best defenses to take on the Queen's Gambit is the Slav Defense.

The Slav Defense is a defense specially designed to face the Queen's Gambit, probably one of the most solid defenses in chess, along with the Semi-Slav Defense (which we will also talk about)

Before starting the study I ask you to press the ❤️ that is under the study to support me and motivate me to do many more studies!

Press the space button to start the study :) } 1. d4 { Play 1.d5 [%cal Gd7d5] } 1... d5 2. c4 { This is the Queen's Gambit
Play 2.c6 [%cal Gc7c6] } 2... c6 { This is the position of the Slavic Defense, a very solid defense! One of the greatest exponents of him was Vladimir Kramnik, who preferred to use this defense to play against the Queen's Gambit on countless occasions.
Like any other, this defense has many variations, but don't worry! In this study I am going to teach you in a simple and fun way how to play against each of them :D } *

{ Garry Kasparov, arguably the greatest chess player of all time, was a big believer in the Najdorf. This game is one of my all time favorites, which highlights the dangers of the opening, and a perfect one to introduce the repertoire. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful game! } 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e6 { 6. e5 is the most popular move nowadays, but Kasparov loved to play 6. e6, which is also my recommendation. } 7. f3 b5 8. Qd2 Nbd7 9. O-O-O Bb7 10. g4 Nb6 { The knight heads to the queenside, while also making room for the Nf6 to retreat to d7. The knights will cause White a lot of trouble. The knights could team up on the c4 square, but Black should not dismiss Na4 ideas in hopes on opening up the b-file at the cost of double isolated a-pawns, which is an interesting trade-off } 11. Qf2 Nfd7 12. Kb1 Rc8 13. Bd3 Rxc3 $5 { This exchange sacrifice is a thematic one (see Theme #3 below). Black shatters White's queenside pawn structure, and the c3 pawn will be a huge target, being isolated and on an open file. } 14. bxc3 Qc7 15. Ne2 Be7 { Kasparov patiently gets castled to bring the other rook into the game. There is no need to rush as White's broken pawn structure is not able to resolve itself. } 16. g5 O-O 17. h4 { White tries to open up the kingside, but Kasparov simply ignores it. If your attack is faster, any move on the opposite end acts as a "pass" move. } 17... Na4 18. Bc1 Ne5 19. h5 d5 $5 { Pawn break in the center! A possible idea is to activate the Bb7, which was inactive due to the e4 pawn being quite stable. d5 tries to liquidate the pawn chain } 20. Qh2 Bd6 21. Qh3 Nxd3 $5 { Did Kasparov intentionally undouble White's weak c-pawns?! Is he insane? Nope! He notices White's queen is far from the queenside, so it is a good time to rush an attack. } 22. cxd3 b4 { Keeping the initiative. An open file will arise for the Black rook to help invade. } 23. cxb4 Rc8 24. Ka1 dxe4 { Now all Black needs to do is rid the White d3 pawn so Be5+ cannot be met by d4 } 25. fxe4 Bxe4 26. g6 ( 26. dxe4 $4 Be5+ ) 26... Bxh1 27. Qxh1 Bxb4 28. gxf7+ Kf8 { Kxf7 is probably fine for Black still, but why allow any counterplay at all? } 29. Qg2 Rb8 30. Bb2 Nxb2 31. Nd4 Nxd1 32. Nxe6+ Kxf7 { The queen cannot be taken due to Bb2+, so White resigns 0-1 White resigns. } 0-1

1. Be3 { The most popular 6th move for White is Be3. There are several ways for Black to combat Be3, with the most popular being e5. While e5 has been played at the super-GM level for years, I believe it also requires a larger amount of theory and understanding of the game to be effective. Therefore, my recommendation is e6, the second most common move, and ppoluarized by Kasparov in the 2000s } 1... e6 { The idea of e6 is to play a bit more reserved, but not create any weaknesses in your own position, unlike the e5 lines where d5 is already an outpost for White's knight. } ( 1... e5 2. Nb3 Be6 { The main line, which is just as good (if not better) than e6, but far more complex. I have included several Grandmaster games below in this line if you are interested. } ) 2. f3 b5 3. Qd2 ( 3. g4 h6 { We will look at this line in the f3 chapter below. } ) 3... Bb7 4. O-O-O { This chapter will be on lines where White castles queenside early on. My suggestion is to play Kasparov style by rerouting the knights over to the queenside and launch a quick attack there. } 4... Nbd7 { It is common for White to castle queenside and launch a pawn storm on the kingside. Black's plan is naturally to utilize the open c-file to aid the attack on the queenside. Black can choose to castle kingside or keep the king in the center, where it can be relatively safe. } 5. g4 Nb6 { We've reached theme #4 above. As stated, the knight is headed to the queenside while also opening up the d7 square for its fellow knight. } 6. g5 Nfd7 7. h4 ( 7. Kb1 { An early Kb1 removes a flight square from the Nc3. Thus, b4 forces the knight back to e2, which leads to unwanted trouble for White. } 7... b4 8. Nce2 Nc4 ) ( 7. a3 { White could play a3, which temporarily stops the b4 push. But Black could use this pawn as a hook to open up the queenside. } 7... Rc8 8. h4 d5 { The idea is to play b4 next, forcing an exchange of pawns } ) 7... b4 8. Nb1 d5 $1 { Black immediately strikes back in the center, taking advantage of the fact that the Nc3 is now completely passive on b1. } 9. exd5 Nxd5 { Black gets an active position. As long as you keep your king out of trouble, you have strong play. } *
