I play this opening often as white and I think you would be wiser to bring out the queenside knight before the second pawn push as well as push two not one the whole idea is to control that center then you could continue to push and threaten the bishop on next move and eventually get that queen trade if you desired so instead of e3 n-qb3 then e4 then take back thec pawn after pushing center pawns and chasing his bishop away......check out my version and tell me what you think of the position
Queens gambit
Na3 and don't be too quick to capture on c4 right away. Following up with more development like Nf3 is likely very good. :)
I can only reiterate along with everyone else that you shouldn't be in a hurry to regain the pawn, after all, there is no way for black to keep it, and the more he tries, the more the queenside will open up after the eventual pawn exchanges.
You may want to think about how black is going to continue development after a move like Be6. For example, without the advance of the e pawn, it almost guarantees that a fianchetto of the king's bishop will follow in order to bring the other bishop into play; you may want to think about how this will inform your own development. The orthodox purpose of the QGA is that you can push e4 and gain complete control of the centre, and a move like Be6 by black only makes it more difficult for black to challenge it with the e pawn. Plus, e4 will almost negate Be6 being played because of the follow up d5.
Hi, I reckon 3. e4 is much more agressive than the e3. So when black plays his Bishop to e6 white can easily move his d4 pawn to d5.

e4 is probably the most agressive response to the QGA, although it often plays out more in "true gambit style", meaning that one must often significantly delay regaining the pawn. The main problem with an immediate e4 before nf3 is that it allows e5 by black, which requires quite accurate play by white to maintain and advantage. If white knows what to do, however, the gambited pawn can yeild a very significant advantage in development, however. A typical line would be

Hi, thanks for your input on this subject I'm still learning so could you point out to me the consequences of not playing Nf3 but moving the pawn from d4 to d5 instead.
Looking forward to your reply Aiden
Hey, as many people do I like to play the queens gambit, but I got 1 problem when I am white and do queens gambit many/some people like to do this:
And I wonder what is a good move after that? I am out of ideas and don't really like when people play like this, but I may consider Qa4+ is a good move?
Thanks in advice
