Trap potential

Black takes the c4 pawn (1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4) and plans active development. White recovers the pawn easily but the position is balanced.

♟ Key Ideas

Don't cling to the c4 pawn. Develop with ...e6, ...c5, ...Nf6, ...Be7 and trade in the center.

Holding c4 with ...b5 too early. Slow development.

Practice repertoire lines move-by-move with spaced repetition and live Stockfish feedback.
