The present "Technical Report" concerns the first page of our D53-ECB (ECO Codes Base) Classification

Worksheet:
-SMOP: Strongly Mixed Opening.
-WSIA: White Significant Advantage.
-QULV: Queen Lever c4-d5.
-TA: Tarrasch Anvil c4,d4-c5,d5
X0 -OF: Opening of the b,c or e-file.

1.d4 X1 d5 X2 2.c4 X3 e6 X4

QGD: The Queen' s Gambit Declined. QGLV: The Queen Gambit Lever c4-d5 is the critical area of this position. The stake is the control of the e4-square; if Black takes the c4-pawn, White is able to play e4 and to create a PC: Perfect Center d4,e4.

3.Nc3 X5 Nf6?! X6

[ Now we may affirm: 3...Bb4! X7 (the famous Nimzo-Indian Defense) is a strongest Black retort, allowing, very often, Black to keep the equality and even to take the advantage.]

4.Bg5! X8

This significant move produces a relative pin of the Black Knight f6. Clearly this attack takes part in the struggle for the control of the e4-square. This one is really the CP: Critical Point of all this opening.

4...Be7

It' s the basic position of the QGD: D53. Let us propose here two remarks about this opening. The first one is related to the specific denomination D53 and the second concerns the relative obsolescence of this line today.

It' s rather difficult to recognize a D53-opening because similar positions may be obtained by using many other openings. We emphaSIZE=this singularity expressing this opening is, globally speaking, a SMO: Strongly Mixed Opening. More precisely this one is very often related to various openings like: A85, B14, D35, D36, D40, D53 to D69, and finally E12.

In addition, we notice now the significant loss of popularity of the D53-opening, at the present time and, in fact, approximately since 1960. The main reason of the disaffection with such an opening is, according to us, the difficulty for Black to find a good strategy in view to contest the real White advantage and initiative : WSIA: White Significant Advantage. X9

[ An alternative way is: 4...Nbd7 X10 For example: 5.Nf3 X11 Be7 X12 6.e3 X13 b6 X14 7.cxd5 X15 exd5 X16 8.Ne5 X17 Bb7 X18 9.Bb5! X19 0-0 X20 10.Bc6 X21 Bxc6 X22 11.Nxc6 X23 Qe8 X24 12.Nxe7+ X25 Qxe7 X26 13.Nxd5 X27 Qe4 X28 14.Nxf6++- X29 Pillsbury, Harry-Lee, Francis Joseph D53 (26) 1-0, London, 1899]

5.Nf3 X30

The usual and certainly the best answer (Heral Retort II), with 5.e3.

[ 5.Bf4 X31 ; 5.Rc1 X32 ; 5.a3 X33 ; 5.Bxf6? X34 (Heral) [D53-b]; 5.cxd5! X35 (Rossetto) [D53-d] to [D53-f]; 5.e3 X36 The second important answer (Heral Retort III). It is easy to notice that in many lines, Nf3 and e3 are both played, the inversion between the first and the second move having nevertheless, in many cases, a non-negligible significance. ]

5...c6 X37

[ 5...a6?! X38 This move, a Marshall' s innovation, aims to struggle for the control of the b5-square. But more accurate is 5...c6 protecting the d5-pawn.

; 5...b6?! X39 (Meitner) [D53-q] to [D53-v] leads to positions similar to a Queen' s Indian Opening, but inferior for Black considaring the White Bishop in g5.

; 5...c5!? X40 (Mieses) [D53-i], [D53-j] is an interesting move introducing a complex and typical pawn-structure: the TA: Tarrasch Anvil c4,d4-c5, d5.

; Capture now the c4-pawn is not a good idea: 5...dxc4?! X41 (Pritzel) [D53-l] to [D53-o] 6.e3 X42 0-0 X43 7.Bxc4 X44 +/= For example: 7...a6 X45 8.0-0 X46 b5 X47 9.Bd3 X48 Bb7 X49 10.Qe2 X50 Nbd7 X51 11.Rfe1 X52 Nd5 X53 12.Nxd5 X54 exd5 X55 13.Bxe7 X56 Qxe7 X57 14.Rac1 X58 Rac8 X59 15.Bf5 X60 with a non-significant White advantage (Marshall, Frank James - Vidmar, Milan Sr D53 1/2-1/2 DSB-15 Kongress, 1906).

; Finally 5...Nc6? (Roser) [D53-v] to [D53-z] is certainly inadaquate in all this opening: the Black idea is, in particular, to play ...Ne7-Ng6, in view to organize an attack on the King side ; but very often he fails in this project. X61 Let us see effectively at the following exemplary game: 6.e3 X62 h6 X63 7.Bxf6 X64 Bxf6 X65 8.cxd5 X66 exd5 X67 9.Bb5 X68 0-0 X69 10.Bxc6 X70 bxc6 X71 11.Rc1 X72 After the exchange in c6 White has at their disposal the control of the open c-file, a strong square in c5 and a good pawn-structure; in the same time c6, c7 constitute a significant weakness. 11...Qd6 X73 12.0-0 X74 Bg4 X75 13.h3 X76 Be6 X77 Black Bishops are not very good. 14.Qc2 X78 Rfe8 X79 15.Na4 X80 White has a clear strategy and a decisive advantage (Capablanca, Jose Raoul - Dummitratschko, P D53 (31) 1-0, St Petersburg Casual, 1914).]

6.e3 X81

This thematic move finds here its natural place. We are now following the O' Kelly de Galway-Tartakover System [D53-a*] to [D53-n**], with the main line:

6...Nbd7 X82

This answer is also thematic and totally conform to the position.

7.Rc1 X83 h6 X84 8.Bh4 X85 Ne4 X86 9.Bxe7 X87 Qxe7 X88 10.Bd3 X89 Nxc3 X90 11.Rxc3 X91 e5 X92 12.dxe5 X93 dxc4 X94 13.Rxc4 X95 0-0 X96 14.Re4 X97 Nc5 X98 15.Rd4 X99 Nd7 X100 16.Bb1

with an insufficient White advantage for winning. O' Kelly de Galway, Alberic - Tartakover D53 (65) 1/2-1/2 Dubrovnik ol (Men), 1950 *
