Overview

Döry Defense is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A46.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

The line arises from 4 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 Ne4.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Knights Variation, part of the broader Queen'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.
