Overview

Caro-Kann Defense: Labahn Attack, Double Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B10 in the Semi-Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.

It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. e4 c6 2. b4 d5 3. b5 to reach the canonical position.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Caro-Kann Defense: Labahn Attack, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
