Well, to be exact, the Botez gambit is not a concrete opening, but it means that you sacrifice your queen in any phase of the game, for example like this:

@pafchess many thanks for this video. So it was Alexandra Botez's opponent who sacrificed his Queen unsuccessfully in this game.

You're welcome. Sorry for this little misunderstanding, I have just found Ms Botez' stream in which the Botez gambit was invented. It is available here (1st one on this site), accompanied by some more videos on this topic.
