Overview

Sicilian Defense: Kronberger Variation, Nemeth 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. e4 c5 2. Na3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Bc4, after 7 plies of opening development.

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