The English: Anglo-Indian, 2.g3 (A15) is a distinct English Opening variation, defined by the move g3. Historically played by Howard Staunton, this system highlights flank control and flexibility.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual g4, the player opts for g3. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move strengthens the long diagonal control. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure..
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with e6 or g6, leading into the English.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.54), with a high probability of a draw.
