which is better defence for a queens gambit?
queens gambit declined or sicillian defence.π
Queen's gambit = 1. d4 d5 2. c4
The queen's gambit declined is the recomended responce
and continues 2. e6
There is also the queen's gambit accepted - this isn't very good because it is very difficult to keep the pawn against a good player.
I wouldn't recommend this but it follows 2. dxc4
Another move is the slav defence, this follows 2. c6

nothing wrong with the QGA, perfectly playable and has been played by kasparov, Anand,Kortschnoj, Baburin, Ibragimov, Ivanchuk, Hübner, Lautier, Yakovich, etc. It's completely sound.
