Benko Gambit Accepted: Yugoslav
Overview
Benko Gambit Accepted: Yugoslav is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A59 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
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 13 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 b5 4. cxb5 a6 5. bxa6 Bxa6 6. Nc3 d6 7. e4.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Benko Gambit Accepted: Fully Accepted Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
