Bird Opening: From's Gambit, Bahr Gambit
Overview
Bird Opening: From's Gambit, Bahr Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A02 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
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 3 plies and takes 1. f4 e5 2. Nc3 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Bird Opening: From's Gambit, part of the broader Bird Opening system.
