Vienna Game: Anderssen Defense
Overview
Vienna Game: Anderssen Defense is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C25), 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 4 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Bc5.
The line refines Vienna Game, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
The line splits into 2 documented sub-systems: Vienna Game: Giraffe Attack, Vienna Game: Hamppe-Meitner Variation.
