Dutch Defense: Krejcik Gambit
Overview
Dutch Defense: Krejcik Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A80 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.
The line arises from 3 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 f5 2. g4.
It is a variation of Dutch Defense, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
It branches into 2 notable variations — Dutch Defense: Hevendehl Gambit, Tate Gambit.
