    Rule of thumb with Queens Gambit: don't try to keep the pawn. You'll give it back, so just pick when to give it back and use that tempo to develop.

    @7567BotS 4 місяці тому +3

    If black accepts and white plays Nf3 followed by e3, a more interesting line is Nf6 followed by Bg4 before white recaptures on c4. Great line for aggressive play and rarely seen at master level.

      That's because stockfish is the strongest even among the engines. If stockfish plays QGA against itself it still draws the vast majority of the games.

    As solely a Queen's Gambit player, I always respond Nc3. Shuts down pawn counterplay on the queen side, and makes d5 an immediate option in some lines. Maybe it's not sound at top levels, but for a bullet player, it works nicely.

    I dont think the queens gambit accepted is that practical of an opening, especially for lower rated players. Sure, it limits whites choices, avoiding a bit of theory, but Its usually also harder for black to find moves, than it is for white. Some of the variations are also really forcing, making it kind of mandatory to study the theory. The rather boring Queens gambit declined with Nf6, Be7 and O-O is much more intuitive to play and is much easier to navigate for lower rated players.
