Alekhine Defense: Brooklyn Variation
Overview
Alekhine Defense: Brooklyn Variation is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B02.

Play reaches this position via 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ng8, after 4 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Alekhine Defense, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
It continues primarily into one named line, Everglades Variation.
