Queen's Gambit

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Meran Variation

After 5.e3 Nbd7 6.Bd3 dxc4 7.Bxc4 b5, Black launches a sharp queenside counter-attack with ...b5 and ...c5. The Meran leads to dynamic, double-edged positions where both sides have concrete attacking chances. One of the most respected lines in modern chess - sharp enough to win, sound enough to draw.
