Dutch Defense: Blackmar's Second Gambit
Overview
Dutch Defense: Blackmar's Second Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A82 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.
The line arises from 7 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Staunton Gambit Accepted, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
