Overview

King's Gambit Declined: Panteldakis Countergambit, Pawn Sacrifice Line is a gambit, classified under ECO code C30 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.

It begins with 11 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. f4 f5 3. exf5 exf4 4. Qh5+ g6 5. fxg6 Qe7+ 6. Kd1 to reach the canonical position.

It is a variation of King's Gambit Declined: Panteldakis Countergambit, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
