King's Pawn Game: Busch-Gass Gambit
Overview
King's Pawn Game: Busch-Gass Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C40, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 4 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Bc5 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines King's Knight Opening, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Chiodini Gambit.
