1. e4 2. g5 3. d4 4. h6 5. h4 6. g4

The Borg Defense: Troon Gambit begins with Black immediately challenging White's central pawn on e4 with a pawn move to g5. This move aims to disrupt White's typical opening plans and create an unbalanced position from the start. White can respond by pushing their d-pawn forward to challenge Black's pawn on g5. Black then plays h6, preventing White from advancing their h-pawn and potentially preparing to fianchetto the bishop. White can continue by pushing their h-pawn forward to attack Black's pawn on g4, creating tension on the board. Black can choose to capture the pawn on h4 or retreat the pawn to g5, leading to different pawn structures and imbalances in the position. This opening can lead to sharp and dynamic play for both sides, with opportunities for tactical complications and strategic maneuvering. Players of the Borg Defense: Troon Gambit must be prepared for unorthodox positions and be ready to adapt to the unique challenges that arise from this opening.
