I will be playing exchange variation and Bg5 in the QGD with plans of Nge2,f3 and e4 but i am not getting when it is correct to play e4..

against slav I am studying boor attack which is given in the chess mentor lessons

f3 in Nimzo...I am searching good sources here..which will explain all ideas in this lines..The good source I have found is chessexplained video and d4 repertoire books..

Against Kid bayonet attack foxy videos are good source...But still finding good other sources..

This are the lines I got..Please can some one please tell good resources or model games to see..Or any improvements on the lines i have selected

Just have something ready for the ...d5 variation of the f3 Nimzo.  Because white has played f3 instead of Nf3 there's no need for the pawn to be on d6 instead and rather reinforce the e4 point too.

EDIT - I checked your profile and realised you're a much stronger player than your blitz/online rating suggests, so I'm really not in a position to be giving you advice, so I deleted my comment :P

That Vishy game still makes me sad...I was watching that live when he played Nf1 and I couldn't believe my eyes.  I don't watch chess streams too often but that game was a BLAST to watch, I was hoping Vishy could deliver the coup de grace Tongue Out

Play colle it is easy you just set up your nf3 d3 bd3 pawn chain thingy and go to town. just get out of the opening equal or slightly better and life is good and you can play chess.

This is just an improvement over my first video Endgames with Koravi Chandrashekhar Part1. I hope you like this one too - http://youtu.be/efuGOF4c3Qc. And if you have any suggestions and improvements regarding this videos..You are welcome !!

I am also d4 player and have made some search.

Against the dutch you can use a kind of London formation. 1.d4 f5 2.Nf3 Δ 3.Bf4 , 4.h4(to prevent BL's h6 and g5 and chasing our bishop) 5.Nbd2 , 6.e3, 7.c4, 8.Βe2 and we'll see if castling is needed. This formation prevents BL's plan in the Dutch which is to attack the kingside.

Very good play for WH is 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3. I like it very much and always use it. I find the Colle very passive. You can watch this video which is very short and instructive about the Torre attack and the London system.

I have this book which is about playing 1.d4 and avoiding the King's Indian Defense. It is also about Torre and London.

There is another book with different responds after 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 which covers shortly and with only a few lines every respond such as 2...c5, 2...Nc6,2...Bf5,2...Bg4.

If you can't avoid the KID then 2 really good videos about a positional system against the KID are these   part1   part2 .

Also the same system from an IM  in this video. If you like the system and want to play it you can find the whole series of lectures here.

Every opening has replies that are easier to play against and harder to play against. Doesn't make it worth not playing. You just want to get out of the opening with something that's not losing. Against anyone <1800 it doesn't matter because they will make multiple mistakes you can take advantage of.

If you play garbage like the Colle, then to the pit with your cowardly ways!
