French Defense: Diemer-Duhm Gambit Accepted
Overview
French Defense: Diemer-Duhm Gambit Accepted is a gambit, classified under ECO code C00 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It is reached after 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. c4 dxe4.
It is a variation of French Defense: Diemer-Duhm Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening French Defense.
