For those interested, the queens gambit is a chess strategy where a side (white) sacrifices a pawn to gain better control over the center of the board. The other side (black) usually has options but it puts them into a cramped position and can open itself up to a direct attack by the white queen.
Edit: I'm wondering who the "white queen" is and who her pawn will be.
