So, I am an almost exclusive QG player when it comes to white. Recently, I have gone to a local chess club and have been met with the benko, benoni, budapest, KID and all those other annoying combos after 1.d4 nf6 2.c4. So I am thinking about cutting out learning responses to all that and just learning the Tromp. It seems to fit my style. Just thought I'd ask you guys if it was a good idea to take on the Tromp and if so what are some things to get started on. For example do I want to play the Borg or the super cool sounding RAPTOR VARIATION! Thanks!

So when met with Ne4 what do you play next? Mr. Blunderful?

P.S. I love that name

Looks like the internet is lacking in its Tromp knowledge. The line you are talking about is:

d4 nf6 bg5 ne4 bf4 c5 f3 nf6 d5 Qb6 Nc3 Qxb2 Bd2 Qb6 right? 

Any and all links would be appreciated.

All of this is over my head. The Trampoline or something opening does sound cool though.
