About this opening
The Labahn Attack (1.e4 c6 2.b4) is a wing gambit: White offers the b4 pawn to gain queenside space and divert attention from the center. The idea is original and disruptive, but the compensation stays modest against sound defense. Black accepts or ignores the pawn and continues the central plan with ...d5. A surprise weapon against the Caro-Kann.
