Indian Defense: Tartakower Attack
Overview
Indian Defense: Tartakower Attack is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A45), 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. d4 Nf6 2. g3 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
