Englund Gambit Declined
Overview
Englund Gambit Declined is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A40 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 3 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 e5 2. d5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Englund Gambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
It continues primarily into one named line, Diemer Counterattack.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
