The King's Gambit is an opening for White, in which White opens up with the e-pawn and then offers up the f-pawn as a sacrifice (that's the gambit). If Black captures the f-pawn, then he is accepting the gambit, and if he refuses the gambit (does not capture the pawn) then it is known as King's Gambit Declined. In the puzzle below you can practice playing the King's Gambit Accepted as a White player.
It should be noted that after two moves, the Gambit can go off in many different directions, so this is only one variation that can occur. So mainly focus on those first two moves as part of the Gambit, after that just try to make the best responses to Black's moves.
