The Simple Solution to the Chigorin Defense | Chess Opening Blueprint

Jonathan Schrantz reveals a simple (and slightly offbeat!) way of handling the Chigoran Defense in the Queen’s Gambit Declined.

Black’s intention with this opening is to take White out of book as soon as possible but learn how to turn the table on your opponent and gain the upper hand with the simple 6. a3 in the exchange variation. Many experienced Chigorin players will not be ready for this surprise weapon!
