Alekhine Defense: Modern Variation, Schmid Variation
Overview
Alekhine Defense: Modern Variation, Schmid Variation is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B04), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
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 8 plies and takes 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. Nf3 Nb6 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Alekhine Defense: Modern Variation, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
