Dutch Defense: Staunton Gambit

Initial Position

After 1.d4 f5, White plays 2.e4, the Staunton Gambit, immediately challenging Black's f5 pawn and offering a pawn sacrifice for rapid development and attacking chances. This aggressive approach, named after Howard Staunton, aims to open lines and create immediate pressure against Black's kingside. White seeks to exploit Black's early f5 move and gain the initiative.
