Here's another one. Schallopp variation of Slav.

These two games with gzlz are a little interesting. I've never played much with the whole Baltic variation QGD

-Grumble-

Had a bunch of night shifts and work down the Gold Coast, of course buggering up my ability to log in and play  lost a bunch of games on time.

This one is 1.d4 e6 offering transpose to French Defense and sort of winds up in a strange reversed Slav hence I have put it here under the 1.d4 d5 games. http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=67692260

Okay - in my game against peacemaker80 (http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=61994440) he's managed to get out of the Kaufman repertoire fairly promptly and the chesstempo.com opening database tells me he is headed for a couple of games which end 0-1 like the Ibragimov-Firman 2003 game. However, I found a couple of 1-0 games. The most significant one being Aleksandrov,A - Diu,V 2012

Might put a sideline to the game where you started 1.d4 d5 against a higher ranked opponent and invited Blackmar Diemar to transpose to French, even if it's really a 1.d4 Nf6 start=> http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=53999686

Semi Tarrasch. I haven't really ever come across this before due to my previous 1.e4 habits. This turned out to go through the middle game with white keeping an edge and eventually converting it into material.

Okay - this 1minute game is a good advertisement for the 1.d4 2.Nc3 approach that so many people are pooh-poohing! I'm going to have to open up my copy of Summerscale's Killer Chess Opening Repertoire again after this one - Daeru getting steamrolled (a rare event in rapid chess)

Good pick there! I missed it :(

Drat! That was a particularly heartbreaking draw - I was so convinced that I should be able to win as I had the pawn on the 7th and while my king safety was a little dodgy (dodgy enough to make me back down and cause the draw in the end) I really felt I should have won. Oh well. I'll learn to look harder next time.

Nice! In the second game I didnt get why you didnt play after 34. ...e5 35. Qxe5! Qd2 36. Bf1 (36.Rg1 Nh3) and suddenly you won :)

I managed to force a pawn to 7th rank but had the wrong colour bishop to force promotion. Meanwhile he wedged his knight in nice and close to my king to keep mate threats coming.

Here is Hashimi trying to out stonewall me! He starts with a 1.d4 d5 but winds up trying out a dutch stonewall in a weird way. However, a king-side attack threatens to make sashimi out of Hashimi - he defends well, sacs a bishop to get a pair of central passed pawns

but my king gets there in time to stymie the escapees. The rest is simple end-game stuff.
