Carr Defense
Overview
Carr Defense is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B00), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
The line arises from 2 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 h6.
The line is a first-level refinement of King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Zilbermints Gambit.
