Botvinnik & Kasparov's Central Pawn Roller | Standard Chess #291 (Queen's Gambit Declined)

Transposing into the Queen's Gambit Declined via the English (1.c4 e6 2.d4 d5), I deploy my mainstay Exchange Variation, 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5. Though the word "exchange" may induce drowsiness or eye-rolling from some, this line actually leads to rich, full-blooded play. Here, I adopt the Ng1-e2 and f2-f3 setup, which was a favorite of former world champion Mikhail Botvinnik, and also his illustrious world champion pupil, Garry Kasparov. With this strategy, White hopes to works up to a powerful central pawn roller with e3-e4.
