Overview

Englund Gambit: Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A40 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

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 4 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 d6.

It is a variation of Englund Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
