Overview

Valencia Opening 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.

The line arises from 3 plies — specifically the moves 1. d3 e5 2. Nd2.

The line refines Mieses Opening: Reversed Rat, which traces back to the root opening Mieses Opening.
