Dutch Variation, Dudweiler Gambit

The Dudweiler Gambit, 2. g4, offers White's g-pawn on the second move against the Dutch Variation of the Bird Opening. It gives no clear compensation and badly loosens the kingside. Black can take with 2...Bxg4, the most common reply, or play 2...e5, which threatens mate on h4 and wins a pawn. The gambit is rarely seen. The engine gives Black a large advantage, and Black wins most games.
