Queen's Pawn Game: Veresov Attack, Classical Defense
Overview
Queen's Pawn Game: Veresov Attack, Classical Defense is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A46.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
Play reaches this position via 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Bg5, after 7 plies of opening development.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Knights Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
