Center Game: Lanc-Arnold Gambit
Overview
Center Game: Lanc-Arnold Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C21, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Nf3 Bc5 4. c3 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Center Game: Kieseritzky Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Schippler Gambit.
