About this opening
The Fritz Attack (3.Nc3 then Bc4) places the bishop on c4 to target the f7 point and reinforce the typical Blackmar-Diemer attack. White banks on rapid development and threats against the black king in compensation for the sacrificed pawn. It is an aggressive, direct line, true to the gambit's spirit: open the game and attack before Black consolidates the extra pawn.
