Openings
Albin Counter Gambit

This is one of those systems where Black tries to grab the initiative by sacrificing a pawn for some central space and an easy development. Never considered to be completely sound, the positions are nevertheless sharp and interesting.

Variations -

WHite will catle kingside with Bg2 and O-O while Black will castle queenside with Be6 and O-O-O. A race to attack the enemy king then begins.

Most Famous Game -

Alekhine's Defence

Popularized in 1921 by the great Alexander Alekhine, but analysed as early as 1819 by Allgaier, Alekhine's Defence is a hypermodern opening in every sense of the word.

Benko Gambit
Founded by Gandmaster Pal Benko

The sacrifice on move three seems odd at first sight, but Black happily parts with a pawn so that he can open the a-file and b-file for his rooks.
