The King's Gambit Declined: Classical Variation, Euwe Attack begins with White playing a pawn to f4, offering a gambit to Black who can accept or decline it. If Black accepts the gambit with e5, White captures the pawn with fxe5, and Black responds with d6. White then plays Nf3, developing a knight and attacking the e5 pawn. Black counters with dxe5, opening up the center and allowing White to play e4, reinforcing the pawn on e5.

After e4, Black develops the bishop to c5, pinning the knight on f3 and preparing to castle. White plays c3, preventing Black's bishop from attacking the knight on d4 and preparing to support the d4 pawn with a future move of Nc3. Black continues with Bg4, pinning the knight again and potentially disrupting White's development.

White responds with Qa4+, a move that attacks Black's undefended pawn on e5 and forces Black to make a decision. Black can either move the king or block the check with a move like Nc6 or d7. This move by White aims to disrupt Black's development and create tactical opportunities.

In summary, the King's Gambit Declined: Classical Variation, Euwe Attack is an aggressive opening where White sacrifices a pawn to gain control of the center and launch a quick attack against Black's position, aiming to disrupt Black's development and create tactical opportunities.
