About this opening
The Hevendehl Gambit (1.d4 f5 2.g4 e5) answers the Krejcik Gambit with a central counter-thrust: rather than capturing on g4, Black strikes with ...e5 to open the game and exploit the weakening created by g4. The play turns lively and chaotic, both sides playing on the initiative in an unbalanced position. It is a sharp, uncharted line, for fans of complications.
