What is the Botez Gambit?
It's a nickname for hanging a queen.
Oh ok
What is the worst gambit?
Sort:
I played the Cochrane in an OTB tournament for a draw.
there's a good "trap" in the englund gambit though for beginnersx

Really? It says in my database that there are no games like this found.
The King Gambit (not to be confused with the King's Gambit) is often used by players who think giving away the most useless piece they have is a brilliant idea. They usually say "Hah! This guy just traded his mighty queen for my worthless king. What a moron". Unfortunately for them, they are unaware that they have just lost the game in 2 moves thinking the game of chess is won like the game of checkers.
Maybe the Latvian gambit, it is completely refuted but is occasionally played anyway.
not in that database i mean if you pu it in analysis, chess.com recognizes it as a position
