You've probably heard of this term, don't you?



At first glance, it sounds like a term used in a chess, am I right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about playing chess. Anyone who is a chess officionado, the word Queen's Gambit is a very common term though. This has something to do with conversation.

This has a very strong effect in expressing ones' opinion. It helps us introduce our ideas in a conversation. It's a natural and a friendly way of communicating. The impressions we create are abrupt, direct and rude when gambits aren't used. At times, people will get a wrong picture of us. Using gambits in a conversation makes it more natural, more confident, more friendly and others may find you easier to talk to. This is the missing link in most conversations. If we start on the wrong foot, most likely we'll be misunderstood.

Now,if gambits are used, the flow of conversation is rather smooth and it comes so naturally.



In some instances, when we want to express a deeply held belief, others will understand us better if we start it with I personally believe.....

They are used when we want to emphasize some points, when we're in a discussion or any other situations. It varies depends on what kind of topic we're in to.

Gambits are maneuvers, or strategies applied to a particular endeavor. They could be used in psyche and physical wars too.
