About the Aged Gibbon Gambit

The Aged Gibbon Gambit is a provocative sideline of the Old Indian Defense in which White meets 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 with 3. g4. The pawn stands en prise to the f6-knight. After ...Nxg4, White is a pawn down and hopes to gain tempi against the displaced knight and to use the half-open g-file. The move sets aside normal development and the usual central plans, and it serves as an offbeat surprise rather than a main line.
