Four Knights Game: Glek System
Overview
Four Knights Game: Glek System is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C47), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. g3 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Four Knights Game, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Four Knights Game: Glek System.
