Overview

Ware Opening is a top-level opening within the Flank Openings family, catalogued as ECO A00 — a starting point from which dozens of named sub-variations branch out.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

The line arises from 1 ply — specifically the moves 1. a4.

The line has 6 documented children — Cologne Gambit, Crab Variation, Meadow Hay Trap, and others being widely played.
