King's Indian Attack: Smyslov Variation
Overview
King's Indian Attack: Smyslov Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A05), 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. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 g6 3. b4, after 5 plies of opening development.
The line refines King's Indian Attack: Symmetrical Defense, which traces back to the root opening Zukertort Opening.
