About the Nanu Gambit

The Nanu Gambit is White's answer to 3...d5, a reply usually considered Black's most reliable antidote to the Marshall Variation. After 4. exd5 Qxd5, White does not try to regain material with 5. axb4. It continues 5. Nf3, and after 5...e5 plays 6. c4 to gain a tempo on the queen. Following 6...Qe6 7. Bd3, Black stays a pawn ahead, and White relies on quicker development and open lines.
