A gambit is an opening that involves a sacrifice of material (chess pieces, usually pawns) for positional gain. In the case of the King's Gambit, White seeks to tempt Black's pawn away from the centre onto f4, which would give White the freedom to play d4 and e5. The move d4 will not only gain centre space but will also uncover an attack by the c1-bishop on Black's f4-pawn, and Black will have to make further non-developing moves to retain the pawn on f4.</content><media:thumbnail url="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=ublog:gjTiXL4z:VvDWzacr.webp&amp;w=880&amp;sig=cbf2430e85fc3bc6b3a8a9a2ccf6fafe9ff14ff6"></media:thumbnail><author><name>Shaveensilva28</name></author></entry></feed>
