Queen's Gambit Accepted: Janowski-Larsen Variation
Overview
Queen's Gambit Accepted: Janowski-Larsen Variation belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO D25, Closed & Semi-Closed Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
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 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 Bg4.
The line refines Queen's Gambit Accepted: Normal Variation, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
