Dutch Defense: Staunton Gambit, American Attack
Overview
Dutch Defense: Staunton Gambit, American Attack 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.
It is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nd2.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Staunton Gambit Accepted, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
