Overview

Kádas Opening: Schneider 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.

It is reached after 2 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. h4 g5.

It branches immediately from Kádas Opening in the opening tree.
