Overview

Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Wurzburger Trap is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO C29 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 15 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 d5 4. fxe5 Nxe4 5. d3 Qh4+ 6. g3 Nxg3 7. Nf3 Qh5 8. Nxd5.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Vienna Game: Vienna Gambit, Modern Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
