Ideas
ECO A covers irregular and flank openings—systems that skip the main e4/d4 fight early. White develops a knight and keeps flexible transpositions into d4 or c4 setups. This entry names the opening after the first moves. Use the diagram and SAN list to recognize the tabiya, then try the line against Maia to explore typical plans in practice.
