Ware Opening: Cologne Gambit
Overview
Ware Opening: Cologne Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code A00 within the Flank Openings family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
Play reaches this position via 1. a4 b6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nd7, after 6 plies of opening development.
It is a direct variation of Ware Opening.
