About the Queen's Pawn Game
White opens with 1.d4 and plays a system without an early c4. It covers many calm setups like the Colle, London and Zukertort ideas.
White develops simply: Nf3, e3 or Bf4, Bd3, O-O.
A typical plan is the e4 push, often prepared with Nbd2 and c3.
Black has easy equality with ...d5, ...Nf6 and ...c5, so play actively.
