X40: Russian Game: Swiss Gambit
In the Swiss Gambit White gambits a pawn in a Russian Game. This can lead to a very interesting line where white exchanges a rook for two minor pieces. White could play d3 and after Black's Nf6 capture the e-pawn thus simply exchanging pawns but in the actual gambit White will not capture Black's e-pawn. Black can reject the gambit with d5.
