Overview

King's Indian Defense: Four Pawns Attack, Florentine Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code E77 within the Indian Defenses family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.

The line arises from 17 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f4 O-O 6. Nf3 c5 7. d5 e6 8. Be2 exd5 9. e5.

It is a variation of King's Indian Defense: Four Pawns Attack, Normal Attack, which itself descends from the root opening Indian Defense: West Indian Defense.
