Queen's Gambit Accepted lesson

two pieces of feedback.

1) The lesson I linked below "Queen's Gambit accepted" has some advice for black, especially in the video, but the exercises are mostly on how write can punish black for having the gall to accept the Queen's Gambit. I would like more balanced advice.

2) Whenever I copy the share link button, I get a lot of marketing craft that I must then delete. I'm not going to do that, so you can see what we sharers have to go ahead and delete each time. The share link would be much more useful if it contained only the links and nothing extra. ---- Learn The Queen's Gambit Accepted - Chess Lessons - Chess.com https://www.chess.com/lessons/learn-the-queens-gambit-accepted I play at Chess.com!

I have never used the sharing links provided to post content on another platform. Do you?

I sympathize with your frustration at all the extra bonus stuff appended to the url. On the other hand, I understand that Chess.com's marketing people believe that sharing links on other platforms provide a source of new users.

At any rate, I just copied and pasted the url: from the browser

I only use the sharing links to pull up the pgn from a game.

As far as your assessment that the lesson challenges are highly unbalanced towards white punishing black's mistakes, I guess I somewhat agree but I think that the lesson overall provides a lot of food for thought to both black and white players.
