Feel free to employ the Lasker, if you wish, there is nothing wrong with it.
The line suggested by Kornev is (no surprises!) a Kramnik speciality, and is also suggested by another recent reperoire book , which I have reviewed in my blog.
Most dry line against d4?

What is Lasker Variation of QGD ??
See post # 13 7...Ne4 is the Lasker defense
Thanks 
If somebody sees a very short (<25 moves) master 1.d4 game that ends in a draw feel free to post it here
Thank you IM pfren for your suggestion with the book, what would be your way to play for a draw with black? What are your thoughts on the Semi-Tarrasch?
Kornevs variation 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 0–0 7.e3 Nbd7 looks interesting but if im allowed to play the lasker i would do it i only need the draw.
