The sandwich is a compact branching form which is often built both in openers and in the midgame, as it is easily converted from various proto-chain forms. Because of its versatility and frequency of appearance, many forms which are based on sandwiches have their own names.

Large sandwiches

Because they are compact, sandwiches can be extended both in the length of the branches and in the number of branches easily.

Compound forms

The sandwich can be easily combined with other forms, often producing self-bracing structures that are very bulky.

A T-split with sandwiches on each side.
Franchise
One of the following forms, or several of them chained together:

A straight chain of sandwiches.

rbyy
rbgg

Half-deli

A T-split where one side is a sandwich. Useful because it often results in a good base for openers when combined with the staircase:

Spooty McBiscuit
A large, compact, heavily sandwiched and staircased chain, constructed as an opener. This opening is most often performed by Spooty, who quickly constructs complex versions of this chain, and its name derives from the use of sandwiches in the opener (breakfast sandwiches).
