Van't Kruijs Opening: Keoni-Hiva Gambit, Ekolu Variation
Overview
Van't Kruijs Opening: Keoni-Hiva Gambit, Ekolu Variation is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A00 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It is reached after 7 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e3 e5 2. Nc3 d5 3. f4 exf4 4. Nf3.
It branches immediately from Van't Kruijs Opening in the opening tree.
