Queens gambit refers to “gambling” the c4 pawn. White normally plays 1. d4 in such case, to which black commonly responds d5. The idea is to then play 2. c4, baiting your opponent to take the pawn (you go down a pawn but black loses a central pawn and white has development advantage)
And also, I think this a variation of the center game.
im confused
he's pulling our chain, that's a Scotch Gambit that runs into a Botez Gambit Declined
what's a botez gambit?
oh i see
"The Botez Gambit is now chess shorthand for accidentally losing one's queen, an often fatal error in a chess game."
i should search queen gambit too
oh queen gambit is just opening ok i get it now

Botez Gambit - Unnecessarily blundering the Queen
Botez Gambit Declined - Not noticing the free Queen
Named after WFM Alexandra Botez famed for blundering her Queen in time scrambles.

Note that the so-called "Botez Gambit" is much more well known as a Queen sac/blunder, and the queen is not given up for nothing, as shown:
I gave up the queen early to promote a pawn, and to take the black queen.
Thanks for pointing that out @Bing55!

A Queen sac and a Botez Gambit are not the same thing. A Queen sac is intentional, while a Botez Gambit is unintentional by definition.
