The Bird: From Gambit, 2...d6 (A02) is a notable Bird variation, marked by the move d6. Traditionally favored by Bent Larsen, this system emphasizes control of e5 and kingside attacks.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual f6, the player opts for d6. It succeeds by accepting a slightly lower evaluation to surprise the opponent. This move solidifies the center without committing. Plans should focus on how to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly 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: -0.16), with a high probability of a draw.
