Overview

King's Gambit Accepted: Breyer Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C33 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

Play reaches this position via 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Qf3, after 5 plies of opening development.

It is a variation of King's Gambit Accepted, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
