Paleface Attack
Overview
Paleface Attack is a variation within the Flank Openings family, indexed as ECO A45.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It is reached after 3 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3.
It is a variation of Indian Defense, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
It branches into 3 notable variations — Indian Defense: Gedult Attack, Indian Defense: Paleface Attack, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit Deferred, Queen's Pawn Game: Veresov, Richter Attack.
