Barnes Opening: Hammerschlag
Overview
Barnes Opening: Hammerschlag is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A00), 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. f3 e5 2. Kf2 to reach the canonical position.
The line is a first-level refinement of Barnes Opening.
