Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Argentinian Gambit
Overview
Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Argentinian Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code D06 within the Closed & Semi-Closed Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
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 begins with 10 plies and takes 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Bf5 3. cxd5 Bxb1 4. Qa4+ c6 5. dxc6 Nxc6 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
