Overview

Modern Defense: Anti-Modern is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B06.

The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.

It begins with 9 plies and takes 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 c6 4. Bc4 d6 5. Qe2 to reach the canonical position.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Modern Defense: Standard Line, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
