Torre Attack: Classical Defense
Overview
Torre Attack: Classical Defense is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A46), 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 5 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bg5 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Indian Defense: Knights Variation, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
The line splits into 4 documented sub-systems: Queen's Pawn Game: Torre Attack, Breyer Variation, Nimzowitsch Variation, Petrosian Gambit, and others.
