Englund Gambit: Stockholm Variation
Overview
Englund Gambit: Stockholm Variation belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO A40, 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. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Qd5, after 7 plies of opening development.
The line refines Englund Gambit: Main Line, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
