About the Fuller Gambit

The Fuller Gambit is Black's reply to the Harmonist, 1. e4 d6 2. f4. Black spends a second tempo on the d-pawn with 2...d5, and after 3. exd5 Nf6 develops a piece instead of recapturing with the queen. In return for the pawn, Black aims for quick development and pressure on a position already loosened by f4, using the half-open e-file. For the moment White is a pawn ahead, with doubled pawns on d2 and d5.
