Again, with the idea of c4, Nc3, and e4
1...d5
One of three ways (with Nf6 and f5) of stopping 2.e4
2.c4
The Queen's Gambit. White offers a pawn for quick development. If 2...dxc4, white has 3.Nc3 and 4.e4
2...c6
The Slav Defense. 2.e6 is the main line of the Queen's Gambit, but e6 blocks in the Bc8 [2...Nf6?

Solid chess, though the Bc8 gets locked in. Black will pursue a Catalan formation with Nbd7, Qc7, b6, Bb7, Rc8, Be7 and 0-0.
5.e3
To develop the Bf1-d3, preparing for a later e3-e4

The Bb7 looks awful, but black will often be able to gain space later with c6-c5.

Garry thoought for a long time. He may have been aware of the above game; he surel;y wanted to take advantage of the fact that black has delayed the capture on e4 and ...c6-c5.

Black can win a pawn, but the resulting pawn structure will favor white. 16.Ne5
