Sicilian Defense: Wing Gambit, Nanu Gambit
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Wing Gambit, Nanu Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code B20 within the Semi-Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
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.
The line arises from 13 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 c5 2. b4 cxb4 3. a3 d5 4. exd5 Qxd5 5. Nf3 e5 6. c4 Qe6 7. Bd3.
It is a variation of Sicilian Defense: Wing Gambit, Marshall Variation, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
