Overview

Sicilian Defense: Scheveningen Variation, Delayed Keres Attack, Perenyi Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO B90 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 17 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e6 7. g4 e5 8. Nf5 g6 9. g5.

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