Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...f5/2. exf5

Duras Gambit Accepted
The Duras Gambit Accepted is a chess opening that arises from the Duras Gambit after the moves 1.e4 f5 2.exf5. This move is a gambit, where Black sacrifices a pawn to gain control of the center of the board. The idea behind this move is to create an unbalanced position and put pressure on White's position.

However, this gambit is not considered a good choice at the highest levels of chess, as it gives White a clear advantage. After 2.exf5, White can choose to accept the gambit and capture the pawn, or decline it and play a different move ¹. If White accepts the gambit, they can gain a material advantage and put pressure on Black's position. For example, White can play 3.Qh5+ to attack Black's king and force it to move. Because if 3...g6?? - 4. fxg6! hxg6 5. Qxh8, grabbing a rook and the game.
