Hungarian Opening: Van Kuijk Gambit
Overview
Hungarian Opening: Van Kuijk 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.
It begins with 4 plies and takes 1. g3 h5 2. Nf3 h4 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Lasker Simul Special, part of the broader Hungarian Opening system.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
