Chess openings - Queen's gambit accepted

I know in top level play it doesn't occur but what do you do when your opponent tries to hold onto his c4 pawn with bishop to e6? or what if he tries to hold onto his c4 pawn with queen to d5? thanks anyone reading this.

Dereque ,
I always comeback to review this very strong gambit
Thanks to you Sir , my game have been improved tremendously
Please continue with your excellent chess lessons.

at 4:00 why not take whites queen so he cant castle king takes the queen than take the c pawn w/ bishop white has to waste moves to manually castle

doesn't knight takes pawn not create an isolated pawn?

veeable

11:53 Why would he move the bishop if the black pawn on E3 can eat another white pawn on F2?

if after e3, black plays Qd5,
white nc3
black Qc6,
white d5,
Q c5,
then how does white gain back his pawn? please help.

@Dereque Kelley
Hey, thank you very much again for the great analysis and explanation about Queen's Gambit!
I've learned alot and added some new strategies for my games. Looking forward for your other videos.

Best lesson I found so far for the queen's gambit. Thanks a lot!

What's the response to Bishop A6?

I think you're one of the best chess teachers here in youtube. Mainly because your way of teaching is so intuitive and logical I am able to remember very much of the video!! Thank you very much and greetings from Spain!!

Awesome videos 😀

thank you very much! That is very instructive and yet very easy to watch video! Again, thank you! You did a good job!

great video. the big picture is, if gambit accepted, and then he tries to shore up that pawn (with another pawn or bishop), his new pawn structure is too far from the minor pieces. the pawn structure must be undermined at the base (a4). then the minor pieces behind or vulnerable to many tactical things. bring queen out to attack rook, or your rook attacks rook. he is in trouble!

good

At 1:21, What if black simply plays Bishop e6 instead?, protecting the c4 pawn You would then be down one pawn in material

Thank you, Dereque, you make it so easy to understand.

Very good work.

This was really helpful – I was impressed by how thorough yet concise and clear you were.

Very instructive as usual. Thank you!

At 6:20 if Black plays ….b5! instead of c6 White is almost lost. 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dxc4 3 e4 e5 4 d5 Nf6 5 Nc3 b5! and if 6 Nxb5 Nex4 7 Bxc4?? Bb4+ 8 Kf1 Bxf2!! White can resign.

Great video as always, Dereque! But i didnt understand something. In 11:54, why not take on d4 with the knight? Is it better to take with the pawn? And also, by taking with the knight white has opened up the d-file, where black's queen is located. I mean, if white had the right to move in this position, he could play Nxe6, a double-attack on the queen and picking up material!!! Is there some drawback by playing Nxd4 instead of exd4?

Hi, after D4, D5, C4,and then black plays bishop to C7 to defend the pawn how you would play into that? I keep facing that opening and its not what i have analyzed.

after pawn takes pawn what if white plays e 4 not e 3

help me help you

Great! More please!

Great video! im fairly new to chess and I've been trying various openings. I've noticed that my opponent hardly ever responds the way i expect them to. No offense but these videos suggest that your opponent will play the way you've demonstrated and that's rarely the case. My question is: what do you do if your opponent doesn't make the expected move and how are these gambits beneficial if it relies on your oppononent to play along?

Oha what a great channel is this

2:57 why isn't Qa4 a good move instantly getting the pawn back

This more often describes why queens gambit is bad for white not good
