So how DO you play against 1.d4?

BigChessEnthusiast

The Quen´s gambit declined is a very solid and "easy" way of facing 1.d4. You put a pawn of d5 and defend it developing your pieces. A typical line would be:



Till_98

the kingsindian or Dutch stonewall or the slav tschebanenko.

General-Mayhem

1. ...e6 (and secretly hope it transposes to a French)

CJ_P

The Slav or Dutch. Sometimes if I'm feeling insane the Englund gambit. Thinking of trying the Albin, too
