Torre Attack: Fianchetto Defense
Overview
Torre Attack: Fianchetto Defense is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A48), 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 g6 3. Bg5 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines East Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
The line splits into 2 documented sub-systems: Queen's Pawn Game: Torre Attack, Grünfeld Variation, Main Line, Euwe Variation.
