Just wondering if anybody out there has any particularily supportive or demeaning thoughts about the Queens Gambit (1 d4, d5 2 c4) and how to play it or respond to it. Thanks for your comments!

One of the main battlegrounds in chess right now

Many books can and have been filled with the lines after 1.d4 d5 2.c4. If you want to know the basic ideas behind it, here's a 10-minute Queen's Gambit tutorial.
