Chigorin Defense at Chess.com

Of all my posts at Jim West Talks Chess, this entry on the Chigorin Defense seems to have been viewed at a faster rate than any other.

The only reason why I don't play it more often is that many players as White answer 1.d4 d5 with 2.Nf3 instead of 2.c4, probably to avoid the Slav Defense (2...c6) which is scoring well for Black these days at the grandmaster level.
