Overview

Indian Defense: Pyrenees Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A50 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 is reached after 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 b5.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Normal Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
