The Gambit

G·P·C·D

Baits from the bottom, then spends position on a calculated shot at the sweep or reversal.

The Gambit baits from the bottom and then spends position to strike. Patient and positional, but willing to sacrifice a safe spot for a real shot at a sweep or reversal. You lure opponents into over-committing and make them pay for it.
