What King's Gambit Accepted: Double Muzio Gambit puts on the board

Black has a 3-point material edge; black is to move.

No pawn occupies d4, e4, d5 or e5, so the central pawn structure is still fluid.

White has castled kingside; Black can still castle either side.

The e-file is open for heavy pieces.
