This move is rarely played as it is considered unsound. Black's idea is to create an open game with practical chances.
White has a number of choices.
-
- 2. dxe5 Accepting the Gambit.
- 2. e4 Transposes into the Center Game.
- 2. d5 Declining the Gambit
- 2. Nf3 Dominating both squares occupied by the pawns.
- 2. c3 Defending the d4 pawn
