Description

Hi to everyone. I'm FIDE MASTER Daler Vakhidov. I've been playing chess for about 12 years and working as coach for almost 2 years.

In this course you'll leran the Opening ,,Queen's Gambit''. After being realeased this show ( Queen's Gambit) on Netflix many chess players started to play this beautiful opening and already won bunch of games thanks to this opening.During this course I'll teach you how you should play Queen's Gambit Accepted(QGA) and Queen's Gambit Declined(QGD) lines. Simply saying you'll learn to play the Queen's Gambit like Beth Harmon and I hope it helps you to get better positions in the middlegame.

The Queen’s Gambit is probably the most popular gambit and although most gambits are said to be unsound against perfect play the queen’s gambit is said to be the exception.

1. d4 d52. c4

The objective of the queen’s gambit is to temporarily sacrifice a pawn to gain control of the center of the board.

The Queen’s Gambit is white’s most popular response to the Symmetrical Queen’s Pawn Opening, and the most popular pawn “sacrifice” in chess opening theory by far.

The move 2. c4 helps white fight for a space advantage in the center, which is a key component of the Opening Principles.

Of course, the pawn does seem to be undefended…but let’s examine what happens if black accepts this pawn sacrifice with 2…dxc4

• Black is temporarily up a pawn, but their control of the center will be greatly reduced. Now or later, white may play e4 and obtain full central control.

• Black’s c4 pawn is rather weak. After white moves the e-pawn, white’s light-squared bishop will be eyeing this pawn, and it will be difficult for black to stay a pawn-up in the long run without making significant concessions.

Because of these factors, black often declines the Queen’s Gambit – and the white c-pawn is allowed to remain standing proudly on c4, exerting pressure on the center.

Black has many ways to respond to the Queen’s Gambit. Let’s consider some of them below:

• 2…e6 (Queen’s Gambit Declined)

• 2…c6 (The Slav Defense)

• 2…dxc4 (Queen’s Gambit Accepted)

• 2…e5 (The Albin Countergambit)

After learning this new opening you'll start to get pleasant positions in the middlegame and it helps you to win the games. Also, before starting to play this opening please follow some tips where I provided in my last lecture ,,Final recommendations''. Thank you
