Latvian Gambit Accepted: Foltys Variation
Overview
Latvian Gambit Accepted: Foltys Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C40 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 9 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. Nc4 fxe4 5. d3.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Latvian Gambit Accepted: Foltys-Leonhardt Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
