Réti Opening: Advance Variation, Michel Gambit
Overview
Réti Opening: Advance Variation, Michel Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A09 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.
Play reaches this position via 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. b4 c5, after 6 plies of opening development.
It is a variation of Réti Opening: Advance Variation, which itself descends from the root opening Zukertort Opening.
