D11 Slav Defence: 3.Nf3 sidelines and 3...Nf6 4.e3 Bg4 (1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e3 Bg4 4.c4 c6 5.Qb3 Qc7)

The second truly new post today, thought doing another one and also tell of the updated posts that I added games to. The posts I have updated today are Dutch Defense: General and English Opening: King's English Variation. General, they both have now three games to look at. I might still do some of my older posts again since the openings might not be technically correct in some of them, a bit obsessed on things like that sometimes. We shall see if I get into changing them.
