Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Breyer Variation
Overview
Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Breyer Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C29 in the Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
Play reaches this position via 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 d5 4. fxe5 Nxe4 5. Nf3 Be7, after 10 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Main Line, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
