It's not really a free pawn...
Queen's Gambit
Sort:
for now, it is. later white could play Nc3, e5 then Bxc4, or if they are aggressive they could play Qa4+ (i don't recommend that move) and win the pawn
not win but take

actually I always get good positions from the resulting queenless endgame, I'm not quite sure why :think:

Well you definitely have a good score with it!
I don't think that means 3.e4 is automatically winning for White, though. I think you're just outplaying your opponents.

yeah I'm just toying around with faulty logic here
also btw Qa4+ is called the accelerated mannheim variation

There is no "queenless endgame" here, unless you intend to answer 3...e5 with the bad move 4.dxe5.

Yeah I got my lines mixed up... I've only played one game with 3...e5. To be honest I should study the QGA more, my theory ends after 3.e4.
y e4 when you can play Nc3?
from here black could play dxc4, taking the free pawn, or they could decline the gambit with e6 or c6, called the Slav Defense.
