Hi, I'm Aleksa. The Queen's Gambit Accepted is a clean, logical way to play against 1.d4. We take the c4 pawn — not to keep it, but to give up the center temporarily and then hit back with ...c5 and ...e6. It's principled and easy to understand. You play Black. When White plays 1.d4, reply ...d5.Play pawn to d5.
