Benko Gambit Accepted: Yugoslav
Overview
Benko Gambit Accepted: Yugoslav belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A59, Flank Openings). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
