To go for a gambit is not defined, and neither is to play one. You offer, accept or decline a gambit. To go for a gambit might mean that you decide to pursue an opening that involves offering a gambit.

"play a gambit" is fairly standard chess English, as far as I know. It means to play an opening line that involves the offering of a ****.
