sorry to say this but what's the G mean in QG then? If the difference between 'gambit' and 'true gambit' is a matter of soundness... then your definition of gambit isn't really fair to the question. I honestly am confused.. what are you talking about?
its not a true gambit in the sense that the compensation is almost immediate in most cases...
where i the king's gambit, white sometimes never gets back the pawn, maintaining pressure...
but in the QGA, white gets back the pawn quickly with equality

Ahem, the Benko/Volga rocks. One of my better games with a testing endgame:
Game 3486598
After 4...a6, I've recently started playing 5.e3 (not on RHP yet).

why not use RHP to test the waters?
just curious, do you have to give something a road test in the real world before trying it here?
seems to me it should be the other way around...
