Overview

French Defense: Banzai-Leong Gambit, Pinova Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C00 in the Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. e4 e6 2. b4 Bxb4 3. e5 to reach the canonical position.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from French Defense: Banzai-Leong Gambit, part of the broader French Defense system.
