Overview

English Opening: Jaenisch Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A10, 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. c4 b5, after 2 plies of opening development.

The line is a first-level refinement of English Opening.
