CHAPTER IV.

THE KING’S GAMBIT.

This opening comprises every variety of the game in which the first player, after 1.  P. to K’s 4th has been played on both sides, commences the attack by moving 2.  P. to K. B’s 4th.  Should the second player take this Pawn with his King’s Pawn, he is said to accept the gambit.

This gambit has many modifications, the names appropriated to which will be found in their proper places in the following pages.
