Overview

English Orangutan is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A15), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

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. c4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. b4, after 5 plies of opening development.

The line refines English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense, King's Indian Formation, which traces back to the root opening English Opening.
