Zukertort Opening: Ross Gambit
1...e5?
The move 1...e5? by black, also known as the Ross Gambit, is a dubious pawn sacrifice for black to try and kick the knight as much as possible and potentially even trap it if white's not careful. This gambit can be accepted by playing the move 2. Nxe5, however white can also decline the gambit with 2. e4 transposing to the King's Knight Opening, 2. d3 stopping ...e4, or 2. d4 attacking the pawn on e5, however allowing ...e4.
