The Fischer Defense to the King's Gambit is a chess opening variation that begins with the moves: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6. Although 3...d6 was previously known, [1] it did not become a major variation until Fischer advocated it in a famous 1961 article in the first issue of the American Chess Quarterly. [2] [3]
White's fifth move is overprotecting the key c5-square in the Grünfeld Defence, thus aspires to prevent an attack on the pawn centre by c7–c5. The extravagancy of White's idea is that they break at once two opening principles: avoid moving the same piece twice, and avoid placing a knight on the edge of the board.
The example below is for the opening position, so no moves are shown in the heading. The first row provides the move numbers with subsequent rows representing different variations. Since the initial position is not always the opening position, these numbers will not always start at "1." White half-moves are shown above black half-moves.
This is a list of chess openings, organised by the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (ECO) code classification system.The chess openings are categorised into five broad areas ("A" through "E"), with each of those broken up into one hundred subcategories ("00" through "99").
The opening is the initial stage of a chess game. It usually consists of established theory.The other phases are the middlegame and the endgame. [1] Many opening sequences, known as openings, have standard names such as "Sicilian Defense".
This opening has a close kinship to the more-common King's Indian Defence and is often considered a variant thereof. The difference is that White has not yet played c4, and therefore retains some options. If White plays an early c4, the opening will transpose into a King's Indian.

In chess, a trap is a move which tempts the opponent to play a bad move. Traps are common in all phases of the game; in the opening, some traps have occurred often enough that they have acquired names.
