Queen's Gambit Declined: Spielmann Variation
Overview
Queen's Gambit Declined: Spielmann Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D30 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 begins with 10 plies and takes 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3 c6 5. Nbd2 g6 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Queen's Gambit Declined, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
