Kádas Opening: Kádas Gambit
Overview
Kádas Opening: Kádas Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 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 is reached after 3 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. h4 c5 2. b4.
It is a direct variation of Kádas Opening.
