AI overview
A gambit is a chess opening move where a player deliberately sacrifices a piece or pawn early in the game, betting that they'll gain a stronger position as a result. Gambits matter because they're a fundamental strategic tool that allows players to trade material for advantages like better piece placement, control of the board, or attacking opportunities.
