Benoni Defense: Uhlmann Variation
Overview
Benoni Defense: Uhlmann Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A61), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It is reached after 13 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 exd5 5. cxd5 d6 6. Nc3 g6 7. Bg5.
The line refines Benoni Defense, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
