Dutch Defense: Hevendehl Gambit
Overview
Dutch Defense: Hevendehl Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A80 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 is reached after 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 f5 2. g4 e5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Krejcik Gambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
