The Botez Gambit is when you let your opponent in a game of chess take your queen for free without compensation. Similarly, if you miss the opportunity to take the Botez Gambit, it's called a Botez Gambit: Declined.
I did a Botez Gambit and my opponent declined it.

Some definitions here are inaccurate. So there are two meanings:
1. An opening in chess where the person playing white sacrifices the pawn in front of their queen (their queen's pawn) to gain a positional advantage. It does NOT mean sacrificing their queen. Here is the opening in chess notation:
1. d4 d5
2. c4
When this sequence of moves has been played, you have a queen's gambit.
2. A Netflix Miniseries. (It's actually '*The* Queen's Gambit') It's about how orphan Elizabeth Harmon in 1960's America struggles with her drug and alcohol addiction and how she becomes a chess prodigy in a male dominated game. The show discusses feminism, racism and male chauvinism - but NOT in an in-your-face way. It's subtle, and isn't the core of the story. Main character actress Anya Taylor-Joy says it's about 'loneliness and the price of becoming a genius'. Not just for chess geeks. Loads of people started to play chess because of it. Great cinematography, amazing 60's vibe - and tons of nostalgic 60's music. Memorable soundtrack too. You'll feel a lot for Beth after watching. <3

Person 1: Yo, yo, have you watched The Queen's Gambit?!
Person 2: Of course, who hasn't? It reminded me why I love chess so much.
Person 1: Cool. I've just started playing chess, and I'm always going to play the queen's gambit opening. Could you share some chess tips later?
Person 2: Yes, I'd be glad to!

Running the Gambit is about as awesome as mediocrity can offer, or afford.

an attempt by an unpopular leader to rehabilitate his failed legacy by naming as his successor a person so corrupt and/or incompetent that the predictably disastrous reign to follow would make his own epic failure look like an epic win in comparison.
the tiberius gambit was named after the unpopular roman emperor tiberius who named as his successor his notoriously capricious and probably insane grandson caligula, who instituted a bloody reign of terror of the like even rome had never seen.

john mccain's nomination of sarah palin as his vice president has to be the first time i've ever seen anyone slap down a tiberius gambit even before they've become president.
