I think you just transposed into benoni. Benoni is d4 c5.

middleeast one of my games ran 1 d2-d4 c7-c5 2dc e7-e6 3b2-b4 a7-a5 4c2-c3 ab 4cb qf6 and redtrader won the rook-chunks of paper ur comment is retarded-so yeah white really can't hold the pawn or something like that will happen. Hope I helped

white would move away form the centre in other words for material exchange,black has position advantage. the pawn is sort of gambited and if i am correct this is the queen's gambit. the pawn is sacrificed but is compansated with position advantage. the centres squares are important

I really like these videos, great way to show practical players some academic plays and start to bridge the horrible gap between beginner and amateur chess player.
