Introduction to the Queen's Gambit Accepted

The Queen's Gambit Accepted is a very underrated opening for black. It's far less common than the QGD or the Slav/Semi-Slav, and it could be a great surprise weapon!

Instead of defending on d5, in the Queen's Gambit Accepted (from now on reffered to as QGA:D) black simply takes the pawn on c4 and makes white prove his compensation for the pawn or makes him waste time regaining the pawn.

In this introductory video I've tried to go over the main ideas behind the QGA, and in three separate videos I will go over three responses white could play in response to black accepting the gambit; 3.Nf3, 3.e3, and 3.e4.
