Hungarian Opening: Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit
Overview
Hungarian Opening: Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A07 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 begins with 4 plies and takes 1. g3 d5 2. Nf3 g5 to reach the canonical position.
It is a direct variation of Hungarian Opening.
