Grand piano gambit

A wing gambit is a gambit - opening in the chess game in which a player is a farmer in the fields b4 (for white) or B5 (for black) sacrifices to thereby form an otherwise compensation gain. The aim of the wing gambit is to distract an opposing pawn or bishop who is positioned on c5 or c4 from his control over the center square d4 or d5.

The most important wing gambits for white are the Sicilian wing gambit or its delayed variant, the Portsmouth gambit , the French wing gambit and the Evans gambit . For black, the Volga gambit and the Blumenfeld gambit are grand piano gambits.
