Well, if you try to play the BDG against 1...Nf6 and Black won't play d5 at an opportune time, you end up playing the Hubsch Gambit which I don't recommend.
Agressive openings with D4?
Sort:
What do you recomend me in case of 1..Nf6?
Well, if you don't want to play mainstream d4/c4 stuff, you can head immediately toward the Trompowsky (2.Bg5) or London (2.Bf4).
Or you could look into the Colle System which can yield a nice kingside attack and largely plays itself.
Many thanks, I will have a look at them!

I've always found the knight on c3 and pawn on c2 a bit suspicious for a London. If I play Nd2, pawn c3 I have Qc2 Bd3 battery idea with the pawn on c3 preventing black from playing Nc6 to Nb4 attacking the battery whilst keeping the idea of c3 flexible for a c4 break.
I've never played the Barry Attack so I'm sure there's obviously something far more reaching than my systematic way of playing the London.

-----------------------------------
In fact, exactly this one, Barry Attack, has been the opening that I have always used, I loved it and it had very good lines, I changed to QB because on theory was better, but my results were much worst.
Before this I felt quite comfortable with the Barry Attack ( I did not konw the name) the only problem was the c2 pawn blocked in the midlegame, now I will try the London, I have never played it, but I think it is going to be quite familiar because it is quite similar.
Just to remark, that have seen in the videos that London is not recomended for experienced players but I see people with high ELOS that use it. High ELOS for me is from 1800
PS: Apart of this I will have a look at the other attacks mentioned here Colle System, Angus Dunnington, I did not have time yet
@ Xbiker
What lines do you adopt when they play GQA and decide to keep hold of the pawn?
Hello, it does not happen quite often, almost always is declined, but when it happens I normally follow the theoritical line, I like this position even more for blacks for the pass pawns you get, I use similar variation when I play against QG.
In this case, at least is more dynamic, I am happy when the gambit is accepted.
When the gambit is declined I use to follow the theoretical line, and normally the opponent also knows it , that is what I do not like of QG it seems you eliminate the oppening, I feel I start to play in the middle game!! and I love play openings!! because all the move are by heart, and is quite difficult to get a big advantage, blacks tend to equalize the game

Yes, I agree, the knight on c3 is not great, but White has to decide what to play in move three. I do not like the bishop on f4 when Black plays d6. But that is just my personal opinion. There are strong players who play Bf4 against Black's Kingsindian setup, too.
On the toher hand the knight can move away from c3 of course, for example Nd1-f2.
Here a game fragment, it shows how White would like to play the opening.
Yeah I see where you're coming from. I must admit though, the future of the c3 knight and c2 pawn still looks questionable for an advantage.
In that game fragment I'd castle short and play Rb1 and go for the minority with my knight on c3.

Have you considered the Kings Indian Attack, my theory may be out of date, but I believe it should yield you a dynamic imbalance in the position with good chances for a win.

Game #1 - 5) Nc3
Huh, how are you fighting for advantage?
You should have played 5) axb5. Therefore, your b2 weakness and their a7 weakness cancel whilst they're weak on the c file with c4 and c7. The plan follows with placing a rook on c1 and exerting pressure on those pawns. Advantage.
Game #2 - Slav theory.
You are right I put wrongly the sequence, that was a mistake,thanks
The BDG is going very well I am winning games in less than 30 movements, and when not accepted ,the position is still good and playable. When 1 F6.. Colle and London as well, the only problem is that I do not know which one choose, both seems nice. It is a pleasure to play lines not so expected by the oponent
You got the right the idea of 3) Nf3 in GQA though (transposes to Slav lines) and is positionally best.
3) e3 = All I care about is getting my pawn back.
3) e4 = Give me that centre.
If you like the London System I wrote an article on it.
Which is the below one:
http://www.chess.com/blog/X_PLAYER_J_X/london-system
I recommend playing 2.Bf4 against blacks move 1...d5!
So that you avoid a trap which I talk about in the above article.
There is only one true King of the London System!
ALL HAIL
GATA KAMSKY!
Hello,
@ AJM1988 Thank you, I know that QG is probably the best opening with D4, may be I am doing wrong, but since I have changed I saw that is much more difficult to win for me, when I started whith BF4 normally I won time becuase at my level normally people do not expected so much
@ Blackbirdx61. Sure it is a good option, I also like it as well as the English Opening, the problem is that I have to choose. One thing that appeal to me of the indian attack and defense is that as long as I read on the X_PLAYER_J_X blog it can be used quite standarly against a lot of position what simplifies and it is easier for beginners-intermediate, and at the same time is not used at this levels.
@ X_PLAYER_J_X. Very interesting blog, not only for this article, many thanks. One of my concerns was that it was only a beginers opening but I see is also played by experienced players, and it has a lot of lines that would be quite familiar whith what I used to play, I think I will give it a chance.
There are other possibilities quite that atracts a lot, like kings gambit and grand prix attack, but I thing it will take a lot of time to be familiar with them, switching from d4 to e4 it takes a time. My cousin who is a quite good player told me not to do it because the majority of people plays whith e4 and he thinks is an advantage to do it with d4, at least at lower levels. I think that my new repertoire will be Black Diemers Gambit and if 1NF6 London System. Is it good?
With blacks I have do not have doubts I always play Old Sicilian, and I feel comfortable with it, and against d4 I tend to accept sooner or later and I also have good results
Yes, you are right, I will have to look for a dynamique alternative in this case not quite popular, this one seems good
Or the London System
Following your advise I am also having a look at Kings Gambit
