The opening is characterized by an early pawn exchange in the center, followed by rapid piece development and pawn advances on both sides. The main idea for White is to quickly regain the pawn on c4 and establish a strong pawn center, while Black aims to counterattack and create counterplay in the center and on the queenside.

In this variation, White sacrifices a pawn early on to gain a lead in development and open lines for their pieces. Black accepts the gambit and tries to hold onto the extra pawn, but this can often lead to a passive position with a cramped pawn structure. White's pawn advances in the center can create threats against Black's king, and the resulting positions can be highly tactical and complex.

The Gunsberg Defense, named after the Hungarian chess player Isidor Gunsberg, is a relatively rare and offbeat choice for Black, but it can catch unprepared opponents off guard. The Prianishenmo Gambit, which is a further sub-variation of the Gunsberg Defense, adds even more spice to the position, as both players are taking risks and fighting for the initiative from the very beginning.

This opening is suitable for players who enjoy sharp and tactical battles, and who are not afraid to enter uncharted territory. It can lead to exciting and double-edged positions, where both players have chances for victory. However, it also requires a good understanding of the resulting middlegame positions and precise calculation skills to navigate the tactical complications that may arise.
