Alekhine Defense: Scandinavian Variation, Geschev Gambit
Overview
Alekhine Defense: Scandinavian Variation, Geschev Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B02 in the Semi-Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
The line arises from 6 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. exd5 c6.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Alekhine Defense: Scandinavian Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
