English Opening: King's English Variation, Kahiko-Hula Gambit
Overview
English Opening: King's English Variation, Kahiko-Hula Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A20, Flank Openings). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.

It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. c4 e5 2. e3 Nf6 3. f4 exf4 4. Nf3 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines English Opening: King's English Variation, which traces back to the root opening English Opening.
