open game
No entry barriers
An open game is a chess opening beginning with 1.e4 e5, leading to positions with active piece play and tactical opportunities rather than closed, strategic maneuvering.
More broadly, open game describes any contest where both sides play aggressively and take risks rather than defending cautiously: It turned into an open game in the second half.
