Noteboom Variation

This section uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.

A chess opening variation of the Semi-Slav Defence to the Queen's Gambit is often called the Noteboom Variation: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 4.Nf3 dxc4 5.a4 Bb4 6.e3 b5 7.Bd2 a5 8.axb5 Bxc3 9.Bxc3 cxb5 10.b3 Bb7. It is also known as the Abrahams Defence after the late English master Gerald Abrahams, who may have a better claim.[2][3]
