📖 Sicilian Defense: Portsmouth Gambit
A variant of the Wing gambit, White sacrifices the b4 pawn for a semi-open b-file and often an open c-file, along with control of the center and quick development.
This also frees up the a1-h8 diagonal.
This move also has the highest white win-rate in Lichess and Master games.
