Italian Game: Rosentreter Gambit
Overview
Italian Game: Rosentreter Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C50 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. d4 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Italian Game: Giuoco Piano, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
