Instead of 4. e3 play Nf3

relentlessrook,

Here's a good way for Black to continue:

After 4... Bb4+ 5. Bd2 dxe3 What if 6. Qa4+ what kind of continuation would black have?

After dxe5, black plays d4, and hopes that his strong D pawn and whites vulnerable e5 pawn will make up for the gambit pawn.

what happens when dxe5?

one of the best responses to 1. d4 I've found

how do you counter dxe5?

a rich way to respon to the queens gambit

a good gambit
