Overview

Dutch Defense: Nimzo-Dutch Variation is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A90.

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 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 f5 2. c4 Nf6 3. g3 e6 4. Bg2 Bb4+.

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

It continues primarily into one named line, Alekhine Variation.
