The '''King's Gambit''' is a [[chess]] opening by white that offers a pawn to black in exchange for taking control of the middle, if black accepts the gambit:

1.e4 e5
<br>2.f4 ...

Many players, particularly beginners, accept the gambit but chess experts today advise declining it.

Fascinating debate continues as to whether to accept or decline this gambit, and the Queen's Gambit.

Notice that black can offer these gambits, too, but it requires more aggressive defense of a weak spot in the board which develops on the side of the gambit.
