An offbeat Caro-Kann sideline in which White answers 2...d5 with 3. b5, leaving both the e4- and b5-pawns en prise in search of rapid development.
Train it in TheoriaAbout the Double Gambit
The Double Gambit, 3. b5, is the usual continuation of the Labahn Attack once Black replies 2...d5. Rather than protecting e4, White advances the b-pawn a second time to strike at c6, so that two pawns hang at once: Black may take on e4 with the d-pawn or on b5 with the c-pawn. White hopes for open lines and quick development in return. It remains a rare surprise weapon.
