Milner-Barry Gambit

In the Advance, White sacrifices the d4 pawn with 8.O-O Nxd4 9.Nxd4 Qxd4 10.Nc3, gaining rapid development and attacking chances against Black's exposed queen and uncastled king. Named after British master Stuart Milner-Barry, this aggressive gambit catches unprepared opponents off guard with sharp tactical play.
