Overview

Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Pachman Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A01 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

Play reaches this position via 1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. f4, after 5 plies of opening development.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Modern Variation, part of the broader Nimzo-Larsen Attack system.
