King's Gambit Accepted: Lolli Gambit, Young Variation
Overview
King's Gambit Accepted: Lolli Gambit, Young Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C37 in the Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 19 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. Bxf7+ Kxf7 6. O-O gxf3 7. Qxf3 Qf6 8. d4 Qxd4+ 9. Be3 Qf6 10. Nc3 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from King's Gambit Accepted: Lolli Gambit, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
