blocking their bishop with queen's gambit declined

Sort:
prolepot

So as the name says, we can block their bishop for the most of the game if they decline the gambit, the board becomes suffocating for black 
so the set of moves are like this-1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. c5, and in future if they move b6 to break the structure we can push pawn to b4 

i have played many games in this style and its quite a good opening

3 c5 is bad. Black develops 3...Nf6 and then attacks with 4...b6 5 b4 a5

1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 c5? Nf6 4 b4 b6 5 a3 a5

... and the White Queen's side falls apart.

As pointed out above, 3. ... Nf6 is also Advantage: Black.

oh yes, so i think it may be better if i delay the pawn push at the 3rd move and play nf3 and ne5

C5 is only really suggested in lines where black has already played a6 and c6 since then b6 is tougher to push.  Even there though, black can use a knight on d7 to try to push for e5 instead.

I don't think 3. c5 is a good idea, but maybe it's just me lol

hmm after hearing all the perspectives i think its a waiting move, i think it depends on what opponent plays

3. c5 may weaken white's position. but its only the slight. thus, to humans' point of view, its still acceptable to say the position is still equal. its just its not an excellent move.
yeah so i think ill only push when i control the board

You won't prove anything if you keep giving inferior replies by Black. Show us how White is supposed to counter Black's BEST replies... which are 3. ... b6 or 3. ... Nf6 intending 4. ... b6.

it's bad because you're just making random pawn moves and you lose control of the crucial d5 square

     The strengths and foibles of the first few moves of the Queen's Gambit Declined have been thoroughly analyzed over the last 150 years. 3.c5 is known to be inferior. Look at the chess.com opening library and you'll see it has never been played by any master.
