What Wikipedia says

A flank opening is a chess opening played by White and typified by pawn moves and play on one or both flanks (the portion of the chessboard outside the central d- and e-files). White often plays in hypermodern style, attacking the center from the flanks with pieces rather than occupying it with pawns.
