Dutch Defense: Leningrad Variation
Overview
Dutch Defense: Leningrad Variation is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A86.
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 Nf6 3. g3 g6, after 6 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Fianchetto Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
It continues primarily into one named line, Dutch Defense: Leningrad Variation.
