King's Gambit Declined: Hobbs-Zilbermints Gambit
Overview
King's Gambit Declined: Hobbs-Zilbermints Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C30 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 is reached after 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. f4 Nc6 3. Nf3 g5 4. fxg5 h6.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from King's Gambit Declined: Zilbermints Double Gambit, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
