The Queen’s Gambit is one of the oldest and most popular chess openings for White—and you can learn to play it like a pro!
The Queen’s Gambit happens after the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4. White’s second move might look a little weird, but it does have a reason behind it. If Black captures that pawn, White can move their e2-pawn, threatening to capture the black pawn with a gain of tempo!
Black can either accept White’s gambit or decline it. If Black takes the pawn, we say that the players entered the Queen’s Gambit Accepted. If Black does not capture the pawn and plays 2…e6, the opening turns into the Queen’s Gambit Declined. Another way for Black to decline the white pawn is by playing 3.c6 and entering the well-known Slav Defense.
