Depends on what white does.  The french, queen's gambit family, and caro family... yeah it's all the same basic (pawn) structure.  Black pawn on d5, breaks on e5 and c5.

I think its similiar to the french if not the french defense, but he moves it in a different order.

Forgetting everything about it, and learning the game fundamentals.

And as far as attacking, we don't even know if he means from the white or black side yet heh.

His 'best answer' was the same thing the rest of us posted: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 or 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5 are both the Queen's Gambit Declined.

Hm, just what I was thinking... Laughing

He means to forget worrying about opening lines and just learn the game.  The basic principles will get you through the opening for now. 

Study tactics and learn the basic endgames first, openings later.

OK I will give try this as I have been plateauing (is this decent English??) for a while, despite a generally better opening... Thanks Estragon
