Richter-Veresov Attack: Malich Gambit
Overview
Richter-Veresov Attack: Malich Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code D01 within the Closed & Semi-Closed Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
The line arises from 11 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bg5 c5 4. Bxf6 gxf6 5. e4 dxe4 6. d5.
It is a direct variation of Richter-Veresov Attack.
