Overview

Vienna Game: Omaha Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C25 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 d6 3. f4 to reach the canonical position.

It is a variation of Vienna Game, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
