Overview

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 8 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. g3 d5 4. exd5 c6.

In the opening tree, this line branches off from Vienna Game: Mieses Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
