Réti Opening: Advance Variation, Navara Gambit
Overview
Réti Opening: Advance Variation, Navara Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A09 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 begins with 6 plies and takes 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. b4 g5 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Réti Opening: Advance Variation, part of the broader Zukertort Opening system.
