Scotch Game: Hanneken Variation
Overview
Scotch Game: Hanneken Variation is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C44), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It is reached after 18 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4 Bb4+ 5. c3 dxc3 6. O-O cxb2 7. Bxb2 Nf6 8. Ng5 O-O 9. e5 Nxe5.
The line refines Scotch Game: Scotch Gambit, London Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
