Grob Opening: Alessi Gambit
Overview
Grob Opening: Alessi Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A00 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.
It begins with 2 plies and takes 1. g4 f5 to reach the canonical position.
It branches immediately from Grob Opening in the opening tree.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
