English Opening: Anglo-Scandinavian Defense, Löhn Gambit
Overview
English Opening: Anglo-Scandinavian Defense, Löhn 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.
Play reaches this position via 1. c4 d5 2. cxd5 e6, after 4 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from English Opening: Anglo-Scandinavian Defense, part of the broader English Opening system.
