[edit] King's Gambit Declined
Black ignores the gambit and develops its dark-squared bishop, controls the d4 square and makes it harder for white to castle kingside. This also sets up a trap, leaving black's e-pawn undefended.
White cannot accept the pawn and play 3. fxe5, because of 3...Qh4+ 4. g3 leading to the loss of a rook (attempting to hang onto the rook with 4. Ke2 leads to 4...Qxe4#). The main continuation is 3. Nf3, but 3. Bc4 looks good too.
