Benoni Defense: Zilbermints-Benoni Gambit
Overview
Benoni Defense: Zilbermints-Benoni Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A43 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.
It is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 c5 2. Nf3 cxd4 3. b4.
It is a variation of Benoni Defense: Old Benoni, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Tamarkin Countergambit.
