Gambit movie

:This article is about the chess tactic. For alternate meanings see Gambit (disambiguation). A gambit is a chess opening in which material (usually but not always a single pawn), is sacrificed in order to achieve an advantage. A gambit played by Black is often called a countergambit.There are three general methods in which a gambit can help a players position.

In addition, bishops and rooks can become more active simply because the loss of pawns often gives rise to open files and diagonals. For gambits that are less sound, the accepting player is more likely to try to hold onto his extra material. A rule of thumb often found in various primers on chess suggests that a player should get 3 moves of development for a sacrificed pawn, but it is unclear how useful this general maxim is since the "free moves" part of the compensation is almost never the entirety of what the gambiteer gains. Of course, a player is not obliged to accept a gambit.
