Touche. Yeah, not really a gambit since the pawn is easily regained.
What are the only gambits gms play?

Apologies, I was referring to the comment re the Marshall...I've amended my post.
Boxers or briefs
I've seen the Smith-Morra played.
GMs would play the Marshall Gambit if allowed. Nobody, however, allows either Marshall Gambit. They do not play 8.c3 against 7...castles and nobody at the top plays the Triangle Defense and allow the Marshall Gambit by White, which is 4.e4. Nobody plays the Muzio any more either. 4...Bg7 advantage Black instead of 4...g4. Only time Black should play g4 early on is if White plays h4.
Could you elaborate on that as my database seems to disagree, unless I am misunderstanding the position you're describing.
