Englund Gambit: Soller Gambit
Overview
Englund Gambit: Soller Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A40 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
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 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 f6.
It is a variation of Englund Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
