Dutch Defense: Classical Variation, Blackburne Attack
Overview
Dutch Defense: Classical Variation, Blackburne Attack is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A91), 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 9 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 f5 2. c4 Nf6 3. g3 e6 4. Bg2 Be7 5. Nh3.
The line refines Dutch Defense: Classical Variation, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
