Overview

King's Gambit Accepted: Dodo Variation belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C33, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

It is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Qg4.

The line refines King's Gambit Accepted, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
