Overview

Queen's Pawn Game: Veresov, Richter 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3. Nc3, after 5 plies of opening development.

The line refines Paleface Attack, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
