Overview

French Defense: Advance Variation, Lputian Variation is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C02), 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 12 plies and takes 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Qb6 6. a3 Nh6 to reach the canonical position.

The line refines French Defense: Advance Variation, Main Line, which traces back to the root opening French Defense.
