Overview

Robatsch 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.

It begins with 8 plies and takes 1. d4 d6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c4 Bg7 4. e4 Bg4 to reach the canonical position.

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