Gambit openings include the sacrifice of a pawn, such is the case with the Queen\u2019s Gambit. The first move to be played is usually 1.d4, the Queen\u2019s Pawn, and the c4-pawn on the Queenside is offered as the gambit, which is where the opening\u2019s name comes from. In contrast, the King\u2019s Gambit starts with 1.e4 and offers the Kingside f-pawn as the gambit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"history\" style=\"color:#cf987d\">Queen&#8217;s Gambit: History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening has a long history and has been a popular choice for amateurs and World Champions alike. Old theory saw Black either decline the gambit or accept it and hold on to the pawn as tightly as possible. The 1886 World Championship Match between Wilhelm Steinitz and Johannes Zukertort shined a spotlight on the Queen\u2019s Gambit as it was played in 9 out of 20 games, each time with Steinitz as Black. Steinitz would both decline and accept the c4-pawn grab, but interestingly, he also introduced the idea of not holding onto the pawn in the QGA but instead allowing White to recapture and be left with an isolated pawn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example from their match, which transposes into QGA as Black captures the c4-pawn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rpbchessboard-spacerBefore\"><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-5\" class=\"rpbchessboard-chessgame\">\n    <noscript>\n        <div class=\"rpbchessboard-javascriptWarning\">\n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.        <\/div>\n    <\/noscript>\n    <div class=\"rpbchessboard-chessgameAnchor\"><\/div>\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n            var selector = '#' + \"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-5\" + ' .rpbchessboard-chessgameAnchor';\n            RPBChessboard.renderPGN($(selector), {\"pgn\":\"[Event \\\"Steinitz - Zukertort World Championship \\\"]\\n[Site \\\"St. Louis, MO USA\\\"]\\n[Date \\\"1886.02.10\\\"]\\n[Round \\\"9\\\"]\\n[White \\\"Johannes Zukertort\\\"]\\n[Black \\\"Wilhelm Steinitz\\\"]\\n[Result \\\"0-1\\\"]\\n[ECO \\\"D44\\\"]\\n[PlyCount \\\"76\\\"]\\n[EventDate \\\"1886.??.??\\\"]\\n\\n1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3.

Black aims to exploit White&#8217;s central pawns in order to attain a long-term endgame advantage by weakening White&#8217;s pawn structure. Black sets the stage for a potential counterattack during the middlegame, particularly targeting the isolated pawn on d4 &#8211; as we saw in the Zuketort &#8211; Alekhine game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"main-lines\" style=\"color:#cf987d\">Queen&#8217;s Gambit Accepted: Main lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After 2\u2026dxc4, White has quite a few options and there are a lot of chess books devoted to this repertoire. Let\u2019s take a look at some of White\u2019s 3rd moves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.Nf3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular move here. White delays their play to recapture the pawn, and prevents \u2026e5, therefore exerting more control in the center. Black\u2019s most popular response is 3\u2026Nf6 which White most popularly follows with 4.e3, attacking the c4-pawn. Here follows 4\u2026e6 (activating the dark-squared bishop and preparing \u2026c5) 5.Bxc4 c5 6.0-0 a6 known as the <strong>Classical Variation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rpbchessboard-spacerBefore\"><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-3\" class=\"rpbchessboard-chessboard rpbchessboard-diagramAlignment-center\">\n    <noscript>\n        <div class=\"rpbchessboard-javascriptWarning\">\n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        <\/div>\n    <\/noscript>\n    <div class=\"rpbchessboard-chessboardAnchor\"><\/div>\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n            var selector = '#' + \"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-3\" + ' .rpbchessboard-chessboardAnchor';\n            RPBChessboard.renderFEN($(selector), {\"position\":\"rnbqkb1r\\\/1p3ppp\\\/p3pn2\\\/2p5\\\/2BP4\\\/4PN2\\\/PP3PPP\\\/RNBQ1RK1 w kq - 0 7\",\"squareSize\":32,\"coordinateVisible\":true,\"turnVisible\":true,\"colorset\":\"original\",\"pieceset\":\"cburnett\"});\n        });\n    <\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"rpbchessboard-spacerAfter\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.e4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>White reinforces control in the center and opens up the bishop to capture on c4. A typical idea for both sides to know is what happens when Black aims to defend the pawn with \u2026b5. Here White can attempt to break up Black\u2019s queenside pawns with a4 and Nc3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rpbchessboard-spacerBefore\"><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-4\" class=\"rpbchessboard-chessboard rpbchessboard-diagramAlignment-center\">\n    <noscript>\n        <div class=\"rpbchessboard-javascriptWarning\">\n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        <\/div>\n    <\/noscript>\n    <div class=\"rpbchessboard-chessboardAnchor\"><\/div>\n    <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n            var selector = '#' + \"rpbchessboard-6adf67fe3f72c-4\" + ' .rpbchessboard-chessboardAnchor';\n            RPBChessboard.renderFEN($(selector), {\"position\":\"rnbqkbnr\\\/p1p1pppp\\\/8\\\/1p6\\\/P1pPP3\\\/8\\\/1P3PPP\\\/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 4\",\"squareSize\":32,\"coordinateVisible\":true,\"turnVisible\":true,\"colorset\":\"original\",\"pieceset\":\"cburnett\"});\n        });\n    <\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"rpbchessboard-spacerAfter\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.e3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, White prepares to recapture on c4, but builds a healthy pawn chain at the same time.
