Queen's Gambit

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Moscow Variation

White plays the calmer 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bxf6 Qxf6, trading the dark-squared bishop to avoid the wild Botvinnik complications. Black gets the bishop pair but lags slightly in development. A practical, sound choice for players who want a positional Semi-Slav without the memorisation burden of the Botvinnik.
