1. c4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. d4 Be7 {There's always a lot to be said about the Orthodox type of position in the Queen's Gambit. Obviously Black isn't aiming for an utlra-aggressive setup the way that the King's Indian or Benoni deal with the opening, and it's even more solid than a Queen's Indian or a Slav, so why isn't it more popular? The reason really is that it is quite passive and if White doesn't do anything special he should retain the slightest of edges. However, once in a while, specially lately, White goes for immediate aggression to try to punish Black for trying to develop so harmoniously.} 4. cxd5 exd5 5. Bf4 c6 6. e3 Bf5 (6... Bd6 7.

{Fabiano Caruana became the winner of Kings Tournament 2013. After a quick draw in the last round with the black pieces against Radjabov, the Italian GM had scored 5 points out of 8 and secured the first place. Wang Hao-Ponomariov was a long game, where Black equaliaed after the opening, but then started to face some problems which the Ukrainian GM failed to solve. In the resulting endgame with rooks and opposite-coloured bishops Wang Hao won a pawn and then converted his material advantage to achieve his second win in a row in Bucharest.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3.
