Indian Defense: Omega Gambit, Arafat Gambit
Overview
Indian Defense: Omega Gambit, Arafat Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A45 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 7 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. e4 Nxe4 3. Bd3 Nf6 4. Bg5 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Omega Gambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game 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.
