Queen's Gambit Declined: Cambridge Springs Defense, Bogoljubov Variation

It's what Magnus played when he drew his first game with Kasparov back in 2004.

By the way, Magnus's middle name is Øen. I wonder how to pronounce it because in Dutch the word means retard happy.png

easily the longest name for an opening is the Réti Opening: Dutch, Lisitsyn, Rydel-Bloodgood, Polish Gambit, Dalesio Gambit after three moves

We shouldn't I think. Stick with words.
