you have to know what you're doing with your central pawns in the main line. as soon as possible, if black allows it, white has to play d4. I have had most of my d5 games go like this

d4 and c5 are the best moves for black I believe, his goal is to disrupt the big center that he's given white

But if d4 is played on move 6 by black instead of Nc6 he's basically borderline winnign

Many gambits are unsound--better to use a system where you always try and find good moves.

I know, i messed up the move order my bad. still, what I like to do is just give up the pawn and let it sit on c3 and black can't hold onto it too fiercely
