[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 862490, member: 2299"] I mean, unless you're thinking of only the romantic era gambits like the Kings Gambit or Evan's Gambit that are dubious in nature I'm not really sure what you would consider a gambit if not the QG. It's giving a pawn to try and create space in the middle and then use tempo spent guarding the pawn to get a lead in development. That's why it's usually declined, but it's still a gambit. Usually those aforementioned types of gambits aren't played at the highest level by anyone because they have been studied and people know how to take advantage. Even someone like Dubov who would be characterized as riskier doesn't go into those often I don't think. But even without the named gambits Magus still made similar types of moves. In game 1, Magnus offer a pawn sac I believe within the first 15 moves that was accepted. In game 6 he offered a pawn on move 10 to try and get a lead in development and that didn't even come with the pressure of trying to defend the won pawn like in the QG. This offer was declined. Later on he exchanged his Queen for two rooks (while not really a gambit it is in a similar line of thinking. [/QUOTE]
