Overview

Sicilian Defense: Double-Dutch Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B27 in the Semi-Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.

It begins with 6 plies and takes 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 f5 3. exf5 Nh6 to reach the canonical position.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Sicilian Defense: Brussels Gambit, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.

Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
