Englund Gambit: Felbecker Gambit
Overview
Englund Gambit: Felbecker Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A40, Flank Openings). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
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 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Bc5.
The line refines Englund Gambit, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
