Benko Gambit: Zaitsev Variation, Nescafe Frappe Attack
Overview
Benko Gambit: Zaitsev Variation, Nescafe Frappe Attack belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A57, 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 line refines Benko Gambit: Zaitsev System, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Benko Gambit: Nescafe Frappe Attack.
