Overview

Sicilian Defense: Euwe Attack, Prins Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B20 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 is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 c5 2. b3 d5 3. Bb2.

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