Polish Opening: Tartakower Gambit
Overview
Polish Opening: Tartakower 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.
Play reaches this position via 1. b4 e5 2. Bb2 f6 3. e4, after 5 plies of opening development.
It branches immediately from Polish Opening in the opening tree.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
