Nimzo-Indian Defense: Dilworth Gambit

A dynamic and aggressive opening that aims to disrupt White's center control and create imbalances on the board.

1. d4 2. Nf6 3. c4 4. e6 5. Nc3 6. Bb4 7. e4

The opening begins with a series of moves that allow Black to challenge White's central pawn structure early on, putting pressure on the d4 pawn and potentially sacrificing a pawn to gain a lead in development. By playing Bb4 on move four, Black pins the knight on c3 and prepares to strike at White's center with e5. This aggressive approach can catch inexperienced players off guard and lead to sharp tactical play. However, White has several options to defend against the gambit, including accepting the pawn sacrifice or playing more solidly to maintain their central control. The resulting positions can lead to complex and unbalanced middlegame positions where both sides have chances for an attack. Overall, the Dilworth Gambit is a bold choice for Black that can lead to exciting and dynamic play on the board.
