Ruy Lopez: Cozio Defense, Tartakower Gambit
Overview
Ruy Lopez: Cozio Defense, Tartakower Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code C60 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
Play reaches this position via 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6 4. d4 exd4 5. Nxd4 Bg7 6. Be3 Nge7 7. Nc3 O-O 8. Qd2 d5, after 16 plies of opening development.
It is a variation of Ruy Lopez: Fianchetto Defense, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
