English Defense: Hartlaub Gambit Accepted
Overview
English Defense: Hartlaub Gambit Accepted belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A40, Flank Openings). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It is reached after 10 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. c4 e6 2. d4 b6 3. Nc3 Bb7 4. e4 f5 5. exf5 Nf6.
The line refines English Opening: Agincourt Defense, which traces back to the root opening English Opening.
