Is the Hungarian gambit really a gambit because it’s easy to win back your pawn?

Actually I meant Budapest. Most people argue that it isn’t a true gambit. Most people define a gambit as giving up material for rapid development and attack potential. The Queen’s Gambit really is more positional than attacking. So while technically you gambit a pawn, it’s not really in the spirit of what gambits are all about.

Yes, 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 is a true gambit, but only if White plays it like a gambit. White can choose to regain the pawn immediately or they can play it in gambit style.

Queens gambit is a gambit because its called a gambit.

When you cannot take back immediately or have guarantee to gain other ways of compensation, it is indeed a gambit. There are several ways in which black can hold onto the pawn, or white launches a kingside attack without ever taking back material.

See at @exploringwa? I told you people people would argue about it. Some people take the strict definition side and some take the intent argument. It’s like those who argue that the constitution should be taken literally vs. those who say that you should look at what it’s goals were. Nobody is right, which is why they argue about both endlessly.

Is offering to resign sportsmanship? Is trash talking in chat gamesmanship?

Very interesting question but the answer is Yes, It is. If black accepts, it perfectly fits in the definition of a Gambit.

not a true gambit

I used Forumfish to analyze what was going to be said early on in this thread and it perfectly predicted the arguments that would be made. Forums are dead. It did make one mistake: it suggest that on move #26 sausage would be mentioned.

Really it should not be a gambit!. It is like 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 which is not a gambit either.
