good openings against 1.d4?

> @UBFL Yes! The Opening is very solid, similar to the Slav Defence except and improvised one!
guess I know what to learn any expert games you want to point me towards once I get a grasp of the opening ideas?
Stick to 1...d5 and learn the Tartakower variation to the QGD. You will have to study hanging pawn structures with the Tartakower. GM Nigel Short and GM Boris Spasky should be your references for game study.

As a former Semi-Slav player myself I would advise NOT devoting much study time to it. The Semi-Slav is one of the most complicated and theorectical defenses to play as Black.
