Indian Defense: Anti-Grünfeld, Alekhine Variation, Leko Gambit
Overview
Indian Defense: Anti-Grünfeld, Alekhine Variation, Leko Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO E60 in the Indian Defenses group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
It is reached after 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. f3 e5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Anti-Grünfeld, Alekhine Variation, part of the broader Indian Defense: West Indian Defense system.
