Modern Defense: Randspringer Variation
Overview
Modern Defense: Randspringer Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A42), 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 g6 2. c4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. e4 f5.
The line refines Modern Defense: Averbakh System, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
