Sorry for being pedantic, but that's just the first move in the
Queen's pawn game. Whether it might become a Queen's gambit or one of
the other hundreds of possible openings starting like that, well,
depends only on where the two players decide to go afterwards ;)
The "!" at the end indicates that the move is considered "strong", or
giving an immediate slight advantage, and is normally read aloud with
a slight grin in your face...
Being a Semi-Slav player as black, I would have probably used "!?"
instead of "!", thus providing a fairer assessment of "p/q2-q4" and
automatically keeping Ken's password safe for much longer ;P

Looks like Queen's Gambit (remember the Chess machine?). I never did figure
out how to counter it, being a King's Gambit bod (although I'm coming to
grips with the Spanish Defence).
ZghOT0eRm4U9s:p/q2-q4!
BTW, is that a chess move?
