D30 Queen's Gambit Declined: Systems without Nc3 (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c6 4.Nbd2)

I used to play Queen's Gambit Declined in my earliest chess games for couple of years and then I changed my way of answering to 1.d4 to that what I had seen in chess videos by IM Greg Shahade or curtains as he is also known. It was the days when he was posting his videos to ChessVideos.tv, I think I watched every single one of his videos up to the point they became mostly pay to see videos. Later on I found out that he has a YouTube channel Greg Shahade Chess, as I saw that I thought I should subscribe to that because he has some really good videos there and it is a shame that he does not get more views and subscribers. I have to admit though that I haven't been watching those videos for some time but because there does not seem to be any time for it anymore, so many things that I consider to be more important use of my time. I also have not watched Larry Christiansen's Attack with LarryC videos either anymore and I like those as well but there is not enough hours in the day to do all the things I maybe would want to include to my day.
