Ruy Lopez: Schliemann Defense, Jaenisch Gambit Accepted
Overview
Ruy Lopez: Schliemann Defense, Jaenisch Gambit Accepted belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C63, 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 line arises from 7 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5 4. exf5.
