The Queen’s Gambit, when accepted, seems very beneficial to White. It’s only a temporary loss of a Pawn and it seems like they get a very good position. Does Black actually get anything out of accepting it? Because when I’m playing Black, I don’t understand why I would ever accept it.

There is general opinion that it’s easier to play declined gambit. However, Queens accepts is theoretically legit.

Queens gambit accepted is perfectly fine- quick development and the thematic e5 to strike back in the center. Easy to play and theoretically sound.

Report Toldsted, Greenland is not a real place and no one lives there. My father worked for the Mi7 and he work with CIA to create Greenland to hide secret soviet agents of war. Anyone pretending to be from greeebalnd is soviet spy and should be banned from chess forums please
