Overview

Grob Opening: Grob Gambit, Fritz Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A00 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 5 plies — specifically the moves 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Bxg4 3. c4.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Grob Opening: Grob Gambit, part of the broader Grob Opening system.

It continues primarily into one named line, Grob Opening: Romford Countergambit.

Together the deeper variations number 2 across the full subtree.
