The opening is characterized by an early pawn sacrifice by White, which aims to open up the center and create rapid piece development. This gambit is accepted by Black, who captures the pawn and then tries to hold onto the extra material. White's next move, Bc4, is known as the Bishop's Gambit, as it develops the bishop to an active square and puts pressure on Black's f7 pawn.

The Anderssen Defense, named after the famous 19th-century German chess player Adolf Anderssen, is a response to the Bishop's Gambit where Black plays g5 to support the advanced f4 pawn. This move has the advantage of creating a pawn chain and making it more difficult for White to regain the sacrificed pawn. However, it also weakens Black's kingside pawn structure and can lead to a sharp, tactical battle.

White's main idea in this opening is to quickly develop their pieces, castle kingside, and create attacking chances against Black's king. Black, on the other hand, will try to consolidate their extra pawn and counterattack in the center or on the queenside.

The opening can lead to exciting and dynamic positions, making it a popular choice for players who enjoy tactical battles and are not afraid to take risks.
