Overview

Modern Defense: Bishop Attack, Bücker Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code B06 within the Semi-Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.

The line arises from 6 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Bc4 b5.

It is a variation of Modern Defense: Bishop Attack, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
