Overview

Réti Opening: Zilbermints 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.

It is reached after 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 b5.

It is a variation of Réti Opening, which itself descends from the root opening Zukertort Opening.
