Latvian Gambit: Senechaud Gambit
Overview
Latvian Gambit: Senechaud Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C40, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. b4.
The line refines Latvian Gambit, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
