The Indian Defense: Tartakower Attack (A45) is a notable Indian Defense variation, marked by the move g3. Traditionally favored by Vishy Anand, this system emphasizes controlling the center with pieces.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual f4, 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. Plans should focus on how to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly and control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure..
Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with c5 or g6, leading into the Indian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.58), with a high probability of a draw.
