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.

Guess I'll remove my funny post and keep it rated PG for the toddlers.

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.


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