Owen Defense: Wind Gambit
Overview
Owen Defense: Wind Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code B00 within the Semi-Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
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.
Play reaches this position via 1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. f3 e5, after 6 plies of opening development.
It is a variation of Owen Defense, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
