4...dxc4 · Slav accepted

[edit | edit source]

Black finally takes the sacrificial pawn with dxc4. Despite being known as the "Pure Slav," this move has about half the popularity of 4...e6, the Semi-Slav. The idea of this move is to threaten a pawn advance onto White's queenside. If White prudently defends with 5. a4, Black gets time to develop the light-squared bishop. Apart from a4, White can gambit the pawn while building up the center with 5. e4 or 5. e3.
