Trompowsky Attack: Edge Variation, Hergert Gambit
Overview
Trompowsky Attack: Edge Variation, Hergert Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A45 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
The line arises from 11 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 Ne4 3. Bh4 d5 4. f3 Nf6 5. Nc3 Bf5 6. e4.
It is a variation of Trompowsky Attack: Edge Variation, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
