Playing denied Queen's Gambit

Generally it's called the Queen's Gambit Declined, but that's OK; I knew what you meant.  White's third move is usually Nc3 or Nf3.  As black, it looks like c6 (Slav) is slightly favored over e6.  I know you don't have access to chess.com's database (Explorer), but I bet if you googled something like "free chess database", you could find something.  It's really useful to figure out opening lines.  Have fun!

As black, I would suggest accepting the Queen's Gambit, which is quite a simple way to continue if you haven't studied the Queen's Gambit.

The Slav may be a little more popular, but it isn't 'more favoured' and is probably harder to play than the QGD as the structures are trickier.

I'm kind of opposed to accepting it; I have tried and failed.
