The Sicilian Defense: Wing Gambit, Nanu Gambit is a sharp and aggressive opening in which White sacrifices a pawn early on to gain rapid development and create attacking opportunities. The opening begins with 1.e4 c5, followed by 2.b4, a move known as the Wing Gambit. By pushing the b-pawn, White aims to disrupt Black's pawn structure and create imbalances in the position.

After Black captures the pawn with 2...cxb4, White plays 3.a3, offering another pawn sacrifice. If Black accepts the second pawn with 3...bxa3, White continues with 4.Nxa3, aiming to quickly develop the knight and put pressure on Black's position. Black can choose to hold onto the extra pawns or return them to maintain a solid position.

White's next move, 5.a3, aims to undermine Black's central pawn structure and open lines for the pieces. Black can respond with 5...d5, challenging White's central pawn on d4. After 6.exd5, Black has the option to capture the pawn with 6...Qxd5, which attacks White's knight on a3 and prepares to develop the queen's bishop.

White's 7.Nf3 is a developing move that also defends the knight on a3. Black can continue with 7...e5, aiming to solidify the central pawn structure and prepare for further development. White's 8.c4 challenges Black's central pawn on d5, aiming to create weaknesses in Black's position and open lines for the pieces.

Black can respond with 8...Qe6, defending the pawn on d5 and preparing to develop the queen's bishop. White's 9.Bd3 puts pressure on Black's position, targeting the weak f7 square and preparing to castle. The opening continues with both players striving to complete their development and seize control of the center, leading to a complex and tactical middlegame.
