Overview

Dutch Defense: Bladel Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A84), 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. d4 f5 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Nh6, after 6 plies of opening development.

The line refines Dutch Defense, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
