It's obviously solid. Black does move his knight twice but don't forget that white moved his bishop three times.
Since you don't play here, we don't know what level you typically encounter.
QGD, Lasker's Defens?
Sort:
unfortunately I am a patzer.Therefore you can only imagine the quality of my opponents or myelf. It certainy isn't pretty.
the reason the kings knight is being moved so many times in the open is for a very simple reason. black wants to exchange the knights and release his light square bishop. when black plays QGD its biggest issue almost always is the LSB being trapped behind the pawn chain. there are many methods black can use to achieve this goal.
also if you are interested, Kasparov made a QGD DVD that is on YouTube and he goes into great detail on Lasker's defense

The whole DVD? O.o
What does everyone think of Lasker's Defense as a response to the Queen's Gambit Declined? I have been looking over games and it looks solid with the biggest problem being the king knight being moved so many times. Any help would be appreciated.
