Kasparov's books on particularly his matches against Karpov has lots of info. The main point is to avoid 3...Nf6 4pxp pxp 5Bg5. Whether this form of exchange variation is better for white than 3...Be7 4pxp pxp 5Bf4 isn't that obvious. Whether white club players have the technique to convert from either one, equally so.
best way to play against queens gambit.
Sort:
My favorite are the Albin (2...e5) or the Baltic Defence (2...Bf5)

Cheers, will check them out!
Does anyone know the pros and cons of this line? It avoids the typical exchange variation with Bg5 but the bishop just comes to f4 instead. It just seems like quite a nice line but I can't find much information about it.
