Do you guys EVER play the Queen's Gambit? I don't! I don't think you should resign, just because you lost your queen! What are your thoughts on the Queen's Gambit? Do you ever play it?

The Queen's Gambit isn't a gambit where you move your queen out and it gets eaten.

No, its when if you lose your queen, you resign.

You are mixing up the queens gambit with the botez gambit. Queens gambit is the good one where you don't blunder your queen. Botez gambit is the one where you blunder your queen.

Botez has used the self-mocking expression "Botez Gambit" when she accidentally loses a queen
