The Hartlaub Gambit after the moves 1. d2 – d4 e7 – e5 2. d4xe5 d7 – d6

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

The Hartlaub Gambit is an opening in the game of chess named after Carl Hartlaub . In English it is called the Blackburne-Hartlaub-Gambit. It originates from the Englund Gambit and is classified under the key A40 in the opening system of the ECO codes . The gambit is not considered correct and is therefore no longer played by top players. It can still be found occasionally in the amateur field.

history

The gambit arose towards the end of the 19th century from attempts to transition into the Albin-Blackburne gambit or Albin's counter -gambit after 1. e2 – e4 . It was introduced into European tournament practice in 1898 by Julius Thirring and Carl Hartlaub . Previously, the Australian master Henry Charlick (* 1845, † 1916) had already tried the train in a long distance game in 1894 .

One of the three books about chess openings, which the American chess player Claude F. Bloodgood (* 1937, † 2001) wrote as a long-time prison inmate, deals with the Hartlaub Gambit.

Main variants

The basic position of the gambit arises after the moves ( see also: chess notation ):

1. d2 – d4 e7 – e5 !? (the Englund Gambit)
2. d4xe5 d7-d6

Possible options:

  • 3. Ng1-f3 Bc8-g4
    • 4. e2 – e4 Nb8 – d7 (Albin-Blackburne Gambit by changing moves)
    • 4. Lc1-f4 Sb8-c6
    • 4. Bc1-g5 Qd8-d7 5. e5xd6 Bf8xd6 6. Nb1-d2 ±

2.… Nb8 – c6 3. Ng1 – f3 d7 – d6 is the delayed Hartlaub gambit

example

In the game Josef Emil Krejicek - Julius Thirring, Vienna 1898, White accepted the pawn sacrifice on move three. Black succeeded in repeating the matte image from the game Morphy - Karl von Braunschweig and Graf Isoard, Paris 1858 with exchanged colors:

4. e2 – e4 Ng8 – f6 5. Bc1 – g5 0–0 6. Qd1 – f3 Bd6 – e5 7. c2 – c3 Qd8 – d6 8. Bf1 – c4 Rf8 – d8 9. Bc4 – b3 Bc8 – g4 10. Qf3-e3 Qd6-d1 + 11. Bb3xd1 Rd8xd1 # 0: 1
