Benoni Defense: Woozle
Overview
Benoni Defense: Woozle is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A43.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
Play reaches this position via 1. d4 c5 2. d5 Nf6 3. Nc3 Qa5, after 6 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Benoni Defense: Benoni-Indian Defense, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
