In the opening 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 3.e*d5 Bd6 If white plays c4 and saves his pawn, what should black do?? I have searched a lot, but this line is nowhere in the theory. I have played one match of Queen's Pawn Countergambit and lost because my opponent saved his pawn through c4! Please tell me!!
I think the best option for black is 4...e4 attacking the Knight on f3. If white pins the pawn with 5.Qe2, then you can choose between 5...Qe7 or 5...Nf6 protecting the e4 pawn.
