Nimzowitsch Defense: Wheeler Gambit
Overview
Nimzowitsch Defense: Wheeler Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO B00, Semi-Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
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.
It is reached after 3 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 Nc6 2. b4.
The line refines Nimzowitsch Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
