Coca-Cola Gambit

edit

1. g4 g5 2. f4

The Coca-Cola gambit is mostly a meme opening. It has never been played by masters, but it is recognised by the chess websites Lichess and Chess.com, originating from . After 2...gxf4 some theory has been developed ⸺ 3.d4 e5 4.h4 d6 5. dxe5 dxe5 6. Qxd8+ Kxd8 7. g5 h6 8. Bg2 Nc6 9. e3 Bg4 10. c3 hxg5 11. hxg5 Rxh1 12. Bxh1 Nge7 13. exf4 Ng6 14. fxe5 Bc5 15. Kf1 is the so-called "main line".

The origin of the Coca-Cola Gambit are considered unreliable, the first known reference to its name being a German forum post from 2008, although its name has been recognised by Lichess.org and Chess.com, and therefore Wikipedia and Wikibooks, and its name became more "official" as it was passed around in perpetuity.
