Catalan Chess Opening Resources
The Catalan is a chess opening where White adopts a combination of the
Queen's Gambit and Réti Opening: White plays d4 and c4 and fianchettoes the white bishop on g2. A common opening sequence is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3, although the opening can arise from various move orders.
