King's Pawn Game: Weber Gambit
Overview
King's Pawn Game: Weber Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C20 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.
The line arises from 8 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. d3 d5 3. exd5 c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6.
It is a variation of King's Pawn Game: Leonardis Variation, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
