The Queen's Gambit
Pawn sacrifice strategy
The Queen's Gambit is a chess opening where White offers a pawn sacrifice early in the game: 1. d4 d5 2. c4.
Black can accept or decline the gambit.
It's one of the oldest and most analyzed openings, favored for giving White central control.
The phrase gained wider recognition from the 2020 Netflix series about a chess prodigy.
