Ragozin Defence

Black plays the modern 4...Bb4, combining QGD solidity with Nimzo-Indian piece pressure on the c3 knight. The Ragozin has become enormously popular at the top level for its flexibility - Black keeps multiple pawn structures available depending on White's reply. Carlsen and Caruana have both used it as a primary defensive weapon.
