Dutch Defense: Bellon Gambit
Overview
Dutch Defense: Bellon Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A84 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
The line arises from 5 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 f5 2. c4 e6 3. e4.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Classical Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
