Overview
Nimzowitsch Defense: Scandinavian Variation, Bogoljubow Variation, Richter Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B00 in the Semi-Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

It is reached after 9 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 Nc6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. d5 Nb8 5. f3.
