Overview

Zukertort Opening: The Potato 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. Nf3 d5 2. a4, after 3 plies of opening development.

The line refines Zukertort Opening, which traces back to the root opening Zukertort Opening.
