Overview

Indian Defense: Wade-Tartakower Defense is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A46), 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.

It is reached after 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 d6.

The line refines Indian Defense: Knights Variation, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
