Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...b5/2. Bxb5

1...b5? B00 1...b5? 2. Bxb5 Poopie Gambit Accepted White accepts the gambitted pawn and develops their bishop to boot. Black can play 2...Bb7, consistent with having moved their b-pawn, and pressure White's centre. Now or at some point later they may wish to play ...a6, kicking the bishop, and otherwise play in the manner of an Owen's defence or a Queen's Indian, with ...e6, ...Bb4, ...Nf6, and ...O-O, aiming for ...d5 to break in the centre. Black can also play 2...a6 which is the mainline, which attacks the bishop to go back to a less active square, so Black can gain a very little tempo back by developing the bishop afterwards.
