Overview

Tarrasch Defense: von Hennig Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO D32 in the Closed & Semi-Closed Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

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

It begins with 14 plies and takes 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 c5 4. cxd5 cxd4 5. Qxd4 Nc6 6. Qd1 exd5 7. Qxd5 Be6 to reach the canonical position.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Tarrasch Defense: Schara Gambit, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
