Queen's Gambit
From Black's perspective, the Queen's Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4) is a classical and solid response to 1.d4. Black can choose to accept the gambit (QGA), decline with e6 (QGD), or play the Slav Defense (c6). These systems teach fundamental defensive principles, pawn structure management, and counterplay.
