Queen's Gambit Accepted: Classical, Furman Variation
Overview
Queen's Gambit Accepted: Classical, Furman Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D26 in the Closed & Semi-Closed Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
It is reached after 19 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 e6 5. Bxc4 c5 6. Qe2 a6 7. dxc5 Bxc5 8. O-O Nc6 9. e4 b5 10. e5.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Queen's Gambit Accepted: Classical Defense, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
