Who else loves to play the Queen's Gambit here? It seems like the ultimate setup for white, if played confidently. Yet, I don't play it as much as I should, which perhaps leaves much to be desired in my own game play, yet when I do it always seems fresh enough to deliver a satisfying result. Even with the Queen's Gambit declined - which is best for black, as accepting the Queen's Gambit simply concedes the center to white - there's still plenty of tricks up the sleeve of white, as you can see from the game above.
Also, I've never heard of the SEmi-Tarrasch Defense but it's quite interesting yet remarkably bad for black, it appears.
