Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Bardeleben Variation
Overview
Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Bardeleben Variation is a gambit, classified under ECO code C29 within the Open Games family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
The line arises from 10 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 d5 4. fxe5 Nxe4 5. Qf3 f5.
It is a variation of Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Paulsen Attack, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
