Overview

Slav Defense: Winawer Countergambit, Anti-Winawer Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code D10 within the Closed & Semi-Closed Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.

The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.

Play reaches this position via 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 e5 4. e4, after 7 plies of opening development.

It is a variation of Slav Defense: Winawer Countergambit, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
