Where you sacrifice (usually a pawn or two) material to obtain either:

1. Development advantage (danish gambit, scotch gambit)

2. Impressive attack (King's gambit, evans gambit, Max Lange Attack)

3. Long-term pressure (Benko gambit)

I have never heard of the elephant gambit. considering that I've seen Halloween's Gambit more often than this elephant, I don't think it's very good (the halloween is really bad)

Hey, I know the answer: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5 and probably followed by exd5 (it is the best move). And for who does not know what is a gambit, it's basically like a sacrifice of pawn or pawns that leads to good positions.

And sometimes it leads to a thingy called Paulsen Countergambit, whatever it is.
