The Durkin Opening (also known as the Durkin Attack or the Sodium Attack) is a rarely played chess opening.
1. Na3
The Durkin Opening is named for Robert T. Durkin (1923–2014) of New Jersey. The name "Sodium Attack" comes from the algebraic notation 1.Na3, as Na is the chemical symbol for the element sodium. Similarly, the Amar Opening (1.Nh3) is sometimes referred to as the "Ammonia Opening". White may follow up by playing c4,[1] e.g. 1...d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nxc4.
