When a certain media property that, while unsuccessful when it first comes out, can manage to become a successful franchise overtime using nostalgia.
"Fortunately, Double Fine have managed to cling to driftwood long enough to wait for the inevitable twenty-year nostalgia wave to come around and can now surf that driftwood all the way to sex island with Psychonauts 2. Yes, they've pulled what's now technically known as the Shenmue gambit."

1) “It’s Anton’s birthday this weekend. I think I’ll surprise him with a Queen’s Gambit.” ~Julia
“Good luck; I did that with Logan over Thanksgiving and now I’m pregnant during a pandemic!” ~Toni
2) “Beth Harmon’s opening move revealed an assertive approach, and she’s quickly followed it up with a strong hold on the middle ground, with her pawns doing most of the heavy lifting. Will she attempt a Queen’s Gambit to win the game?” ~Local Nerd getting $10 to do commentary for the weekend event.

A counterargument strategy often used as an attempt to argue against a claim backed by data by suggesting, without evidence, that the source of the data can't be trusted, often seen in social media arguments.
Person 1: "Give me one good reason not to stick this fork in that outlet"
Person 2: "Because the CDC reports a 94% death rate for people who do"
Person 1: "The CDC is part of the government and you can't trust the government"
Person 1: "Ah. I see you have chosen' the Idiot's Gambit. Then proceed. It's probably for the best"
