Against the Sämisch (5.f3), Black plays the gambit-style 6...c5, sacrificing a pawn after 7.dxc5 dxc5 8.Qxd8 Rxd8 to liquidate White's centre and reach an active endgame. Pioneered at the highest level by Bronstein and Geller, this active treatment avoids the heavy theory of mainline Sämisch positions.
