The English: Symmetrical, 2.g3 (A30) is a notable English Opening variation, marked by the move g3. Traditionally favored by Howard Staunton, this system emphasizes flank control and flexibility.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual b4, the player opts for g3. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move prepares to fianchetto the bishop. The focus should be on rapid development.
Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with g6, leading into the English.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.63), with a high probability of a draw.
