Queen's Gambit Accepted: Furman Variation
Overview
Queen's Gambit Accepted: Furman Variation is a gambit, classified under ECO code D27 within the Closed & Semi-Closed Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
The line arises from 14 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 e6 5. Bxc4 c5 6. O-O a6 7. dxc5 Bxc5.
It is a variation of Queen's Gambit Accepted: Classical Defense, Main Line, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
