Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5/2. b4/2...cxb4

2...cxb4 · Wing Gambit Accepted
Black bravely accepts the gambit. Since the gambit is of questionable soundness, it is best to accept it.

One trap: a3 d5! (Countering in the center) exd5 Qxd5 axb4?? (White, in his eagerness to regain the pawn, forgot a simple tactic), Qe5+ wins the rook on a1.

The recommended refutation is to counterattack in the center at the right time.

White's responses
3. a3.

3. d4.
