5...dxc4 · Botvinnik variation

[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the Botvinnik Slav, the highway of wild variations, where crazy tactical complications fill the board.

Black boldly accepts the gambit pawn, but his material advantage is only temporary. White's main response is 6. e4, establishing a large center and planning to continue with e5. The resulting positions will be very chaotic and theoretical, making it very dangerous for an unprepared player.
