Opening Overview: King's Indian Attack: Keres Variation

The King's Indian Attack: Keres Variation (A07) is a distinct King's Indian Attack variation, defined by the move Bg4. Historically played by Hikaru Nakamura, this system highlights kingside pawn storms and hypermodern dynamism.

Strategic Context: While g6 is the consensus choice, Bg4 offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by accepting a riskier evaluation to avoid heavy theory. This move directly controls the d1-h5 diagonal. 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: Going forward, the critical task is to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.14), with a high probability of a draw.
