The Dutch: 2.Nf3 e6 (A80) is a notable Dutch variation, marked by the move e6. Traditionally favored by Simon Williams, this system emphasizes asymmetrical aggression.
Strategic Context: While e5 is the consensus choice, e6 offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move opens lines for the dark-squared bishop. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: In the resulting middlegame, players must focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.00), with a high probability of a draw.
