The Bird: 1..d6 (A02) is a distinct Bird variation, defined by the move d6. Historically played by Bent Larsen, this system highlights control of e5 and kingside attacks.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual e5, the player opts for d6. It succeeds by accepting a riskier evaluation to avoid heavy theory. This move restricts the e5 square. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.10), with a high probability of a draw.
