1. d4
|
A game from one of my Queen's Gambit Accepted tournaments. First 2 moves are given:
1.d4,d5
2.c4,dxc4
...then I regularly play 3.e4:
Black forfeits the centre & so white occupies it. It seems also to be generally accepted that the advanced c-pawn can not be held. So most players of black concentrate on releasing their white bishop & developing. |

1... d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e4
|
My usual 3rd move - to occupy the centre, with a view to playing Nc3 & pawn to d5. |

Well, I've read of a number of counters to this, the main one being... |
|
| |
|
|
4. a4 Bb7
|
a fiancietto-ed bishop doesn't usually hold up against the strong centre of QGA in my experience... unless you haven't build the centre yet: |
|
| |
|
|
5. axb5
|
...totally ignoring the unprotected e-pawn |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bxe4
|
of course |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nc3
|
And finishing myself off: This move demonstrates the danger of over-confidence with a particular opening. One which I must have played a hundred times on Gameknot alone.
Also, it highlights the importance of move order when playing d5.
Good luck!
