Definition 1: A daring opening move in chess that sacrifices a piece for a future advantage.[@more@]
Usage 1: Applied first and foremost to the game of chess.
Suggested usage: Of course, it can be applied to any daring opening move, such as a provocative statement to open a conversation or a risky business maneuver that promises long-term gains. "Buying so much of the flood plain was a risky gambit that could pay off if fish-farming becomes profitable."
Etymology: Italian gambetto "gambit", originally "tripping (up)" from gamba "leg". The same PIE root devolved into Greek kampê "bend, twist" and Lithuanian kampas "corner".
