Overview

Dutch Defense: Manhattan Gambit, Anti-Modern is a sacrificial opening line filed under ECO A80 in the Flank Openings group. The defining idea is the early concession of material to seize the initiative and unbalance the 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 5 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 f5 2. Qd3 d6 3. g4.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Dutch Defense: Alapin Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
