History
The debut is named after the Spanish chess players, who, according to Giulio Cesare Polerio , regularly used this continuation in the 16th century. The main idea of the gambit was revealed after the moves: 3. ... Фd8-h4 + 4. g2-g3 f4: g3 5. Кre1-g2 !? Qh4: e4 + 6. Kg1-f3 g3: h2 7. Rh1: h2 d7-d5 8. Kb1-c3 Qe4-f5 9. Bf1-d3. As a result, a position developed in favor of white [3] .
A feature of this combination is the “leap of the king” from e1 to g2. There was no castling in the era under review, however, the rules allowed the king to make a “jump” into two cells. Subsequently, due to a change in the rules of chess, the idea underlying this principle lost its relevance, and the opening lost its former popularity [3] .
Debut Ideas
Modern theory considers the Spanish gambit to be a rather ideological continuation, which allows us to reduce the game to schemes in the spirit of the Steinitz gambit : voluntarily giving up castling, whites strive to get ahead of the opponent in development and, in a number of positions, create a strong center. This gambit continuation of the Viennese party , proposed by the first world chess champion in the 19th century, has not found an effective refutation so far, however, play it in a classic form (1.e2-e4 e7-e5 2.Kb1-c3 Kb8-c6 3.f2 -f4 e5: f4 4.d2-d4 !?) is not always possible, since black most often continues the Vienna game by 2. ... Kg8-f6, transferring the game in a different direction [4] .
Currently, Spanish gambit is rare [5] . Of modern chess players, this beginning is periodically applied by the Iranian chess player K. Shirazi .

- 6. e4-e5 g7-g5 7.h2-h4 Kb8-c6! - with better chances for black.

These continuations are less common and, according to theory, do not cause White any particular difficulties.
