Ware Opening: Crab Variation
Overview
Ware Opening: Crab Variation is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A00.
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 3 plies and takes 1. a4 e5 2. h4 to reach the canonical position.
It branches immediately from Ware Opening in the opening tree.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
