Gruenfeld Exchange Variation My Game Analysis With Qa4
I was given the opportunity to play Qa4+ in the Gruenfeld Exchange Variation with black blocking the check with Bd7. I want to see what I can improve upon by looking at my game and some master games. End with some points to remember for myself.
My Game:
Master Games:
To limit clutter I put all the games into the same pgn, most of the games are incomplete to show the gist of the opening and early middlegame.
Next time I get to play against this opening:
- Don't rush to play e5, try to keep the pawn duo intact
- Remember a rook usually belongs on d1
- The computer likes Bf4 maybe play this and analyze how it played a part
- A bishop on e3 helps prevent c5
