Overview

Dutch Defense: Hopton Attack is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A80), 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.

The line arises from 3 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 f5 2. Bg5.

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