Now White must choose which pawn to take.
1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. b1c3  3... g8f6  4. c4d5  4... e6d5  5. c1g5  5... f8e7  6. e2e3  6... h7h6  7. g5h4  7... e8g8  8. f1d3  8... f8e8  9. g1e2  9... c7c6  10. e1g1  10... a7a5 [%c_effect a5;square;a5;type;Interesting;persistent;true] The new way of playing the Queen's Gambit. Black is the one advancing the pawns on the queenside. This is surprising for those of us who grew up seeing White advance on this side of the board, the so-called \"minority attack.\" But if you think about it, isn't it more logical for the side with a pawn majority to move forward $2 11. f2f3 White, on the other hand, tries to advance on the center, but this is not so easy to achieve, especially with the knight on c3 about to be attacked by Black's b-pawn. 11... b7b5 [%c_effect b5;square;b5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 12. d1c2 I suspect this is not the most accurate move since Black will soon achieve a pleasant position. The plan I like the most is to play 12.Bf2 immediately, with the idea of playing Ng3 and trying to push the e-pawn. 12... c8a6  13. a1e1  13... b8d7  14. h4f2  14... a5a4 A new move, preparing to play Qa5 and then b5-b4. There are good alternatives as well. 15. g1h1  15... d8a5 Now b5-b4 is threatened. 16. e2f4 [%c_effect f4;square;f4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 16... b5b4  17. c3e2  17... c6c5 [%c_effect c5;square;c5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The opening was a success for Black. 18. d3a6  18... a5a6  19. c2f5  19... d7f8  20. d4c5  20... e7c5  21. e2g3  21... g7g6  22. f5d3  22... f8e6  23. d3a6  23... a8a6  24. f4d3 The exchange of queens favored White, who managed to equalize the game. 24... e8c8  25. e1c1  25... a6c6  26. g3e2  26... f6e8 A double-edged plan: Black tries to activate the knight, but the d5-pawn becomes weak. 27. f1d1  27... e8d6  28. d3e5  28... c6c7  29. e5g4 [%c_effect g4;square;g4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] An unpleasant move to face. 29... d6e8 The errant knight goes back. The alternative is to play 30. f2g3
