Overview

Modern Defense: Neo-Modern Defense is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A41), 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 6 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 g6 2. c4 Bg7 3. e4 e5.

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