Overview

Bishop's Opening: Krejcik Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C24 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

The line arises from 9 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. f3 Bc5 4. Ne2 Nc6 5. b4.

It is a variation of Bishop's Opening: Berlin Defense, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
