Hi Guys. Please do check out this game I played following QGD line and let me know your feedback. My most convincing victory over a higher rated opponent ; Although the game was probably littered with Inaccuracies from both sides start to finish, I tried to follow all the basics like sound development in the opening, looking for exchange of Queens in anticipation of an obviously superior endgame and placing all of my Pawns on opposite colored squares as compared to my opponents Bishop ; all these factors combined probably choked my opponent towards the end, and it was a really sweet victory!!

A lot of the software evalutions don't mean much, only relevant for finding blunders. (Off hand 6...dxc4 7Bxc4 pxp 8Ne2 is a particularly strange one, just looks a free pawn. Others were how you felt playing IQP positions and no particular best). 

The symmetrical Tarrasch you played has always been fine for black. (1.d4 d5 2c4 e6 3Nc3 c5 4pxp pxp is Tarrasch proper, were whie is thought to get some pressure with a line with g3.)
