Overview

Nimzo-Indian Defense: Dilworth Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO E20, Indian Defenses). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.

The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.

It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e4 to reach the canonical position.

The line is a first-level refinement of Nimzo-Indian Defense.
