The King's Gambit Declined: Keene's Defense (C30) is a distinct King's Gambit Declined variation, defined by the move Qh4+. Historically played by Mikhail Tal, this system highlights sacrificial initiative.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual Bc5, the player opts for Qh4+. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move brings the Queen out early. Plans should focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks and control the key diagonals to exert long-term 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: -0.21), with a high probability of a draw.
