Overview

King's Gambit Accepted: Allgaier, Urusov Attack is a gambit, classified under ECO code C39 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.
