Amar Opening: Paris Gambit, Gent Gambit
Overview
Amar Opening: Paris Gambit, Gent Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It begins with 11 plies and takes 1. Nh3 d5 2. g3 e5 3. f4 Bxh3 4. Bxh3 exf4 5. O-O fxg3 6. hxg3 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Amar Opening: Paris Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening Amar Opening.
