While gambits can lead to exciting, attacking chess, they’re not without risk. Accepting a gambit pawn can sometimes give the opponent material advantage, and if the player offering the gambit cannot follow up with a strong initiative or attack, they may find themselves in a worse position. Also, in certain cases, gambits can be refuted, meaning that careful play by the opponent neutralizes the attacking chances and leaves the gambit player down material without compensation.
