The Queen's Gambit Accepted #6

The Queen's Gambit Accepted is characterized by the move 2...dxc4 after 1 d4 d5 2 c4. Black surrenders the center to White, only to counterattack in that sector. This is a venerable defense used by many famous players including, among others, World Champions Steinitz, Alekhine, Petrosian, and Kasparov. John Watson demonstrates a direct way for White to play against it and obtain a promising game.
