The Australian Defensechess opening, beginning with the moves 1. d4 Na6.[1]

Details[edit]

Refers to Semi-Closed Games, is black's response to Queen's pawn opening. The name of the opening comes from the Australian Champion in 1992 and Ocean Champion in 2000, Aleksandar Wohl, International Master. In tournaments, he repeatedly and effectively used this defense, although in general this debut at world-class competitions is extremely rare.[2] The Australian Defense is described in his chess course by International Master (Grandmaster since 2022) Renato Quintiliano [pt] in 2018.[3] Black's ideas in this defense are similar to White's Durkin Attack, the advantage of the opening is that the pawn structure is not affected.
