Overview

Blumenfeld Countergambit Accepted is a gambit, classified under ECO code E10 within the Indian Defenses family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.

It is reached after 12 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 b5 5. dxe6 fxe6 6. cxb5 d5.

It is a variation of Blumenfeld Countergambit, which itself descends from the root opening Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
