Alekhine Defense: Maróczy Variation
Overview
Alekhine Defense: Maróczy Variation is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B02.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
It begins with 3 plies and takes 1. e4 Nf6 2. d3 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Alekhine Defense, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
