Queen's Pawn Game: Liedmann Gambit
Overview
Queen's Pawn Game: Liedmann Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A43 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. d4 c5 2. c4 cxd4 3. e3 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Benoni Defense: Old Benoni, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
