I tested it twice and white won both, how to counter?
Queens gambit declined (c6)
Sort:
Thats not a Queen's Gambit. The move order doesn't even make sense. How would white play d6?
If black does nothing about it on the queens side then the knight and bishop are pinned
It starts out a queens gambit but after c6 white plays c5 pinning the c6 pawn so the nknight can't go there and the bishop can not go along the c8-h3 diagonal
I ment c4 for white 2nd move sorry
D4 d5 c4 c6 c5 b6 b4 a5 Qa4
What about the Queen's Counter Gambit:
The problem for white is that the far advanced pawns will be very hard to defend when there is no development. So white may temporarily win a pawn, but black will win it back with simple developing moves. Qa4 gives black some opportunity to develop with tempo.
How instead of taking on b6 why not develop like g2 and swing the bishops over to attack queen side?
3.c5 is quite simply a very bad move, which
- loses time needed for development
- releases all central tension
- puts the pawn in a squre where it can be easily attacked.
The usual way to attack such a pawn, is attacking its supporter. Hence the most popular, and likely best move for Black, is 3...e5.
The best way I have found to deal with the QG is with the sharp Indian's Defense. Example:
1. d4 Nf6 2. e3 d6 3. c4 Nbd7 4. Nf3 e5 5. dxe5 dxe5 6. Nc3 e4 7. Nd4 Ne5
8. Be2 c5 9. Nb3 Qxd1+ 10. Bxd1 Nxc4 11. O-O Be6 12. f3 exf3 13. Bxf3 O-O-O
14. Be2 b6 15. a4 a5 16. e4 Bd6 17. Nd5 Nxd5 18. Bxc4 Nf6 19. Bxe6+ fxe6
20. Nd2 Bc7 (with a full point advantage)
I agree with Jimmy720
In case no one noticed, an International Master just explained in a few short words exactly why 3.c5 is a rotten move and exactly how to meet it. When was the last time anyone saw 3.c5 played in a master game?
Native chess minerals gave a nice response too.
