Simple.
Combine a solid structure of Queen’s Gambit Declined with the attacking potential of Nimzo-Indian.

It is a mega-reliable system that can go from solidly defensive to an attacking “beast mode” in just a couple of moves (and you have all the controls).
No surprise, all top Grandmasters have Ragozin in their repertoire.
Magnus Carlsen, Deng Liren, Levon Aronian, Alireza Firouzja, Vishy Anand, you name it… they ALL play Ragozin.
