Queen's Gambit

Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Czech Variation

The main Slav mainline, where Black plays 4...dxc4 and follows with 5...Bf5, developing the light-squared bishop outside the pawn chain before playing ...e6. White's a4 prevents ...b5, leading to slow strategic battles around the c4 pawn and the c-file. The Czech Slav is one of Black's most respected defences against 1.d4.
