Overview

English Orangutan is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A15.

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. c4 Nf6 2. b4.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense, part of the broader English Opening system.
