Overview
King's Pawn Game: Busch-Gass Gambit, Chiodini Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C40 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

It is reached after 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Bc5 3. Nxe5 Nc6.
It is a variation of King's Pawn Game: Busch-Gass Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
