The Krejcik Gambit arises after 1.d4 f5 2.g4 in the Dutch Defence. ECO code: A80.

Overview

This aggressive gambit immediately challenges Black's f5-pawn with a kingside pawn advance.

Strategic Themes & Plans

White aims to undermine Black's pawn structure and open the g-file for attacking chances. After 2...fxg4, White can play 3.e4 or 3.h3, seeking to recover the pawn with interest. The gambit is considered dubious but creates practical complications. Black should accept the pawn and aim to consolidate with careful development.
