Blumenfeld Countergambit
Overview
Blumenfeld Countergambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO E10, Indian Defenses). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
It begins with 8 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 b5 to reach the canonical position.
The line is a first-level refinement of Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
The line splits into 2 documented sub-systems: Blumenfeld Countergambit Accepted, Duz-Khotimirsky Variation.
Together the deeper variations number 3 across the full subtree.
