Overview

Grob Opening: Grob Gambit, Keres Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 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.

It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 e5 3. d4 exd4 4. c3 to reach the canonical position.

It is a variation of Grob Opening: Grob Gambit, which itself descends from the root opening Grob Opening.
