Nimzo-Indian Defense: Three Knights Variation, Shocron Gambit
Overview
Nimzo-Indian Defense: Three Knights Variation, Shocron Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO E21, 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 is reached after 10 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Bb4+ 4. Nc3 c5 5. d5 b5.
The line refines Bogo-Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
