King's Gambit Declined: Panteldakis Countergambit
Overview
King's Gambit Declined: Panteldakis Countergambit 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.
The line arises from 4 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. f4 f5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from King's Gambit, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
5 named variations grow from this line, including Greco Variation, Pawn Sacrifice Line, Schiller's Defense, and others.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
