Indian Defense: Gibbins-Weidenhagen Gambit, Stummer Gambit
Overview
Indian Defense: Gibbins-Weidenhagen Gambit, Stummer Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A45 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 9 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. g4 Nxg4 3. e4 d6 4. Be2 Nf6 5. Nc3 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Indian Defense: Gibbins-Weidenhagen Gambit Accepted, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
