Hungarian Opening: Pachman Gambit
Overview
Hungarian Opening: Pachman 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.
Play reaches this position via 1. g3 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Qh5+ g6, after 6 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Hungarian Opening: Dutch Defense, part of the broader Hungarian Opening system.
