About the Warsteiner Gambit

The Warsteiner Gambit arises after 1. Nc3 d5 2. f4 g5. White's second move gives the game a Bird-like character, with the f-pawn controlling e5. Black answers by striking at that pawn straight away. If White captures on g5, Black has given up a pawn to deflect the f-pawn from the center and to open the g-file. The line is a deliberate sideline rather than established theory.
