Zukertort Opening: Sicilian Invitation
Overview
Zukertort Opening: Sicilian Invitation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A04), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

The line arises from 2 plies — specifically the moves 1. Nf3 c5.
The line is a first-level refinement of Zukertort Opening.
The line splits into 4 documented sub-systems: Colle System: Rhamphorhynchus Variation, Modern Defense: Semi-Averbakh Variation, Polish Variation, Modern Defense: Semi-Averbakh Variation, Pterodactyl Variation, and others.
Together the deeper variations number 5 across the full subtree.
