Overview

Réti Opening: Penguin Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A09), 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.

It is reached after 5 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. Rg1.

The line refines Réti Opening: Advance Variation, which traces back to the root opening Zukertort Opening.
