What are the best openings against the Queen's Gambit?

I've been playing slav, but I'm annoyed how the queen's bishop and knight are always trapped. What are ways to correct this, and what are the best openings other than slav defense?

I don't like it. If they take, I won't have any pawns controlling the center. I'm not good with hypermodern openings.

The Queens's Bishop is not trapped in the Slav. That is Pretty much the whole idea behind the Slav... I don't really think that's a fair comment about the Knight either.

Well many times either the e pawn or knight ends up trapping it. And then the bishop has to stay to protect against Qb3. Of course it's not permanently trapped, but it's still too crowded.

That simply isn't true. You're not even talking about the Slav, you can't be. White either plays 5.a4 and then your Bishop is outside of the pawn chain there and then or White doesn't play 5.a4 and you play 5...b5 and there is no b7 to defend. Do you even know what the Slav Defence is?

I guess he ends playing a sort of Semi-Slav at certain moment. Anyway, black must do some type of concession virtually in any opening, as masters and experts have said often in the forums. I think the Slav is a very sound choice.

Neither of those have anything to do with the Queen's Gambit

You're not even an experienced BSer; you're terrible at chess; the KID isn't playable vs the QG; the French is also not playable vs the QG; nobody knows how to destroy the QG because it is perfectly sound.

Okay, so I posted the 4 main responses. There are a few more that are less solid. There is also the Chigorin, which is sound but unusual. Also, it is worth noting that white has the option of playing the Catalan with a Queen's Gambit move order, so make sure you have a line ready for that.

The KID isn't playable against the QG because the QG is 1. d4 d5 2.c4. The KID is 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6. It is playable against 1.d4, but it's not possible to play it against the Queen's Gambit. The French is 1. e4 e6, so that's also not the Queen's Gambit.

I'm not even going to bother with him any more. I've seen his crap in other threads too. Thanks Charetter and you're right about the reasoninig behind the Slav too, I'm sure. But I'll ask you again, how have you not been banned for sandbagging yet? I'm not going to report you because I enjoy watching the chess.com staff fail at everything.

I don't sandbag? My rating is somewhat low in correspondence but that's just a result of only playing people rated much higher than me (and I also only play against friends, so no harm done to anyone there). My bullet rating is also low because I can't think that fast. My blitz and standard ratings are both pretty good so that's obviously not sandbagging. My chess960 rating is also somewhat low but that's because I don't play chess960.

ROFL. Don't even try to justify your ridiculous ratings. LMAO. Wow... Words simply fail me. They can do no justice to just how preposterous your ratings are/were.
