Queen's Gambit Accepted: A Simple System for Black, Part 1 with GM Robert Hungaski

Hi there! And thank you for tuning in to my lecture on the Queen’s Gambit Accepted (QGA). During this lecture I aim to introduce you to one of my favorite ways of meeting 1.d4. The reason I hold this opening is such high regard is of course due to the reliability of the line, but also (and perhaps most importantly) to its practical value. Unlike the Nimzo-Indian, Grunfeld or King’s Indian, which are also among the most reputable openings out there, the QGA requires little knowledge of long, complex variations. Instead, we are able to narrow down White’s possibilities as early as move three! In fact, after 2…dxc4 white only has three “main” moves 3.Nf3, 3.e3 and 3.e4 and against each of these Black has several interesting paths to choose from. In the QGA we are spoiled for choice! I invite you to join me as I navigate through White’s most recent attempts at attaining an advantage by means of the move 3.e3. I will provide you with some general principles as well as the most accurate sequences, which will have your opponent knocking his head against the wall and you asking yourself “why doesn’t everyone play this with black!?” Title: Queen's Gambit Accepted: A Simple System for Black, Part 1 Author: GM Robert Hungaski Category: The Openings, Strategy, The Middlegame Opening: Queen's Gambit Accepted Matchup: Cori vs. Hungaski @agadmator's Chess Channel @GMHikaru ‪@STLChessClub‬​ ‪@ChessBaseIndiachannel‬ ‪@chesswebsite‬ ‪@chess‬ ‪@ChessNetwork‬
