Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Pseudo-Chigorin
Overview
Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Pseudo-Chigorin is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D06 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 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Bf5 3. Nc3 e6 4. Nf3 Nc6.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
