Vienna Game: Adams' Gambit
Overview
Vienna Game: Adams' Gambit belongs to the gambit family of chess openings (ECO C27, Open Games). It trades material for attacking chances — a classic trade-off that has fascinated players from the Romantic era to modern correspondence chess.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 11 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nxe4 4. Qh5 Nd6 5. Bb3 Nc6 6. d4 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Vienna Game: Frankenstein-Dracula Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
