Answers.Text: @cmgchess you could be right. The lack of the dark-squared bishop could make Black's attack nearly impossible thus forcing them into more positional plans. Hard to say so early on without specific master games to reference.

Body: <p>Here is a different approach of playing the QGD as black. A general idea after Qxe7 is to play <strong>Nb6</strong>, <strong>Be6</strong> followed by <strong>0-0-0</strong>.

  I can't provide sources about the theory other than exploring master games from a database, but as a general strategic theme it's good to learn about the Karlsbad pawn structure to learn some long-term plans.
  
  White will usually try to play on the queenside, , trying to get something out of the semi-open "c" file by breaking Black's pawn structure with a b4-b5 push, but first they will try to get their king into safety: Nf3 (Ne2!?) and 0-0 are coming soon.
  
  Black usually tries to anticipate White's plan by creating bigger threats on the center and kingside. As the knight is placed on h5, Black may try their chance to go ...f5-f4 earlier than usual. On the other hand, the lack of a dark-squared bishop makes attacking harder.
