Overview

Ware Opening: Ware Gambit is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A00 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the position.

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 e5 2. a5 d5 3. e3 f5 4. a6, after 7 plies of opening development.

It branches immediately from Ware Opening in the opening tree.
