Latvian Gambit Accepted: Nimzowitsch Attack
Overview
Latvian Gambit Accepted: Nimzowitsch Attack 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.
The line arises from 11 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. d4 d6 5. Nc4 fxe4 6. Ne3.
The line refines Latvian Gambit Accepted: Bilguer Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
