Overview

Vienna Game is a named branch in the Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO C25.

The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.

It begins with 3 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 to reach the canonical position.

It branches immediately from King's Pawn Game in the opening tree.

5 named variations grow from this line, including Anderssen Defense, Falkbeer Variation, Max Lange Defense, and others.

Counted recursively, this branch covers 57 sub-variations at all depths.

Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
