Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Mokele Mbembe
Overview
Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Mokele Mbembe 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.
It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. d4 e5 2. Nf3 e4 3. Ne5 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Englund Gambit Declined: Reversed Krebs, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
