Overview

Marienbad System is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A47), 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.

The line arises from 8 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 b6 3. g3 Bb7 4. Bg2 c5.

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

It continues primarily into one named line, Berg Variation.
