Overview

Englund Gambit: Soller Gambit Deferred 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 6 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 f6.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Englund Gambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
