Every book i ever read says the BDG is absolute rubbish.........is this not true?
If I played 1.d4 I'd probably use it routinely against those who I play against (1400-1700) I think
Nothing wrong with a pawn in the center, an extra tempo & open lines for a pawn.
black to move

How about proper chess? One does not need to play gambits to "spice up" your games, you can play solidly and still get good exciting games.

But black can avoid this position if they plays e5. I mean 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.f3 e5! or 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 e5!. In both lines black is getting better position.
