Instead, I decided to choose an opening that would narrow down White's possibilities even if this meant accepting a slightly inferior (though very solid) position. I remember I was fed up with my bad results against 1.d4 and decided to stay away from long and complex theoretical discussions that were taking up a lot of my time and giving me little returns. I began playing the Queen's Gambit Accepted nearly ten years ago. One of the reasons why I have been so attracted to this variation over the years (and why I believe I have been so successful with it) is due to the simplicity of Black's ideas and the practicality of the variations themselves. This is the key position that I will be discussing at length.
That is, after the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 In this database, I will be proposing a complete repertoire for Black based on the Queen's Gambit Accepted.
