Overview

Zukertort Opening: Santasiere's Folly is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A06), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

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. b4 d5 2. Nf3 to reach the canonical position.

The line refines Polish Opening, with d5, which traces back to the root opening Polish Opening.
