Queen's Gambit Declined: Exchange Variation, Reshevsky Variation
Overview
Queen's Gambit Declined: Exchange Variation, Reshevsky Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D36 in the Closed & Semi-Closed Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
The line arises from 15 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 exd5 5. Bg5 c6 6. Qc2 Be7 7. e3 Nbd7 8. Bd3.
