The Pseudo-Trompowsky — 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5 — doesn’t announce itself with fireworks.
At first glance, it resembles a typical positional setup, the kind of position Black faces regularly after 1.d4. But this similarity is deceiving.
As GM Baadur Jobava notes in his introduction:
“At first sight, this looks calm, but that’s exactly why it works.”

The Trompovsky Attack and especially the London System have become quite popular openings in recent years. This should not come as a surprise. In our computer age, when most of the forced lines lead to a drawn outcome, top chess players began to look for ways to play for a win in less studied and forced openings. Veresov Attack is also an interesting try to reach fresh and unexplored positions. It can be quite dangerous if you are not prepared. GM Pavel Eljanov proposes a universal way to deal with these openings. In his concept, the main idea is to fight for the center as well as to limit the activity of White's bishops through exchanges or the threat of exchanges (and we know that the threat is often stronger than its execution).
The repertoire is based on solid positional grounds and the author is trying to offer similar setups against all three openings.
