The Schara-Hennig Gambit is a new and trendy variation. For years it was considered dubious, but since the advent of neural networks it has gained popularity. These computers are much better at long-term thinking and they are able to show the long-term consequences of early pawn sacrifices. The gambit has been taken up by many strong players. Most of them played it in rapid or blitz, but Magnus Carlsen even played it in a classical game against Sam Shankland in Wijk aan Zee. This suggests that even the world champion thinks it is good. In the Schara-Hennig Gambit, Black sacrifices a pawn and in return receives a development advantage. From this point on, Black has two options. To play against the white king or to try to prevent White from developing. In the latter case, the main issue is the c1 bishop.
