Overview

Barnes Opening: Gedult Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

The line arises from 7 plies — specifically the moves 1. f3 d5 2. e4 g6 3. d4 dxe4 4. c3.

It is a direct variation of Barnes Opening.
