Dutch Defense: Nimzo-Dutch Variation
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.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
