Declined GambitBeginner

Declined Gambit: solid defence with ...d6

Black protects e5 with 3...d6

Train full line

The plan

Against this solid defence, White develops naturally and increases the pressure on e5.

  • Nf3 and Bb5 increase central pressure
  • Castle kingside before opening lines
  • Choose the right moment for fxe5
Watch out
  • Do not force f5 before developing
  • If ...exf4 appears, recover with Bxf4 when convenient
