One of the most popular pawn structures arising from the majority of queen’s pawn openings is the structure known as the Carlsbad structure. There are several openings from which the Carlsbad structure can likely arise, like the Queen’s Gambit, the Nimzo-Indian Defense, the Gruenfeld Defense, the Semi-Slav and the Caro-Kann Defense. A typical Carlsbad position arises after the moves: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 c6 5.e3 Nbd7 6.cxd5 exd5. This is the so-called Carlsbad variation of the Queen’s Gambit Declined. Since the Carlsbad structure is rich in ideas we will cover typical plans and strategies for both, the white and the black side.
In this fourth lesson, GM Alex Lenderman is focusing on winning ideas and strategies for black in the Carlsbad structure.
Basic ideas for black in the Carlsbad structure:
- The key is the knight on d6. The knight is usually very good attacker and defender in a way.
- The b5-idea for black is also very interesting.
- Once the queen side play is more or less shut down, then black really can shift his attention to put a lot of pressure on the king side.

I'm grateful for this valuable content - so clear and insightful. Since these lines are "for Black," it might have helped to view the board from Black's point of view. And definitely ... would have been easier to follow if the commentary were a little slower.

Hi great video. Please can you list the games mentioned in the video in the text? Many thanks

Dear Alex Lederman, I have a theoretical question: Is it possible that after 7.Qc2 Black continues with the standard plan 0-0, Ke8, Nf8,g6? transposing to normal variants? and another question Is it feasible the game that shows us to respond to 11.Kb1 with a6 instead of a5 to transpose to the "normal" line Thank you very much

Interesting...

[@XFlyingDutchmanX]

I really liked the game but the moves were sometimes played to fast. I would prefer 2 or 3 examples that are explained in more detail.

The teaching method is not effective. Too fast and rushed!

[@supplyequalsdemand2739]

It’s recorded so you can watch as many times as needed. It’s free. It’s being taught by a strong grandmaster. Stop complaining and say thank you. Geez 🙄
