Opening Overview: Indian Defense: Medusa Gambit

Strategic Context: Diverging from the popular Indian Defense (b5), this line chooses g5. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move challenges the opponent. Plans should focus on how to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion and control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure..

Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.44), with a high probability of a draw.
