Modern Defense: Bishop Attack
Overview
Modern Defense: Bishop Attack is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B06), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
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 is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Bc4.
The line refines Modern Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Bücker Gambit.
