Latvian Gambit: Greco Variation
Overview
Latvian Gambit: Greco Variation 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 6 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qe7 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Latvian Gambit, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
