Vienna Game: Mieses Variation, Erben Gambit
Overview
Vienna Game: Mieses Variation, Erben Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C26 in the Open Games group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It is reached after 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. g3 d5 4. exd5 c6.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Vienna Game: Mieses Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
