I learned the basics of the Queen's Gambit a while back.  Since then I have forgotten the main principles of this opening.  I have decided to pick up and  become more knowledgable in this opening.  If anyone has any suggestions on books or games to study, I am open to any help. 

Please leave comments!

Check out the Alekhine-Capablanca title match, in addition Marshall played some excellant attacking games with the Queens Gambit.

Boy678,

Queen's Gambit:  1. d4 d5 2. c4

QG Accepted (QGA): 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dc

QG Declined (QGD): 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6

And we'll not go into the subvariations of these or things like the Slav/SemiSlav, Marshall, etc to keep this focused.
