Queen's Gambit- protecting the pawn

Sort:
phillyfanatic

From many sources I have heard that in the Queen's Gambit Accepted, Black attempting to protect their pawn at C4 is risky. However, I have yet to find an example that shows why it is such a risky move. How should White go about taking advantage of this supposed mistake by Black?
