I have trouble finding a way to play against the Nf3-e5, f2-f4, check, check, mate, setups when I am playing the slav as black.
Could anyone help with this?
Sorry...dont study openings. Cant help you, but good luck
How to play against the Pillsbury setup in the Slav?
Sort:
Show me how white stops the knight getting to e4,bb_gum234!
Oh yes, I agree. Move-orders can be confusing.

Your system is good!
I just meant that sometimes the game starts out as something else, like a trompowsky, then white gets that structure and you can't quite get to e4, at least not quickly.
Sorry, like the OP I have no move order to give lol.
I don't play Nf6, so white cannot play Trom against me.

What's so scary about #25?
Black is fine using the traditional ...Ne4 recipe.
When Black has time to control the e4 square, the whole white plan is completely harmless.
Did you find a satisfatory answer to this ? while looking at one of the elite tournament games (do not recall the game or player) the commentator told of a strategy to play against this, exchange white's Knight on e5 by Nf6-Nd7-N*e5 and then Nc6 goes to Ne7-Nf5.
This IM Pruess video may not be exactly on point, but deals with the Pillsbury Attack against a QGD setup. The video is part of the Study Plan on this site. I watched it the other week and thought it was pretty instructive.
