English Opening: Anglo-Dutch Variation, Ferenc Gambit
Overview
English Opening: Anglo-Dutch Variation, Ferenc Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A10 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 5 plies and takes 1. c4 f5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e4 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from English Opening: Anglo-Dutch Defense, part of the broader English Opening system.
It continues primarily into one named line, English Opening: Porcupine Variation.
