The King's Indian Defense: Accelerated Averbakh Variation (E70) is a notable King's Indian Defense variation, marked by the move Bg5. Traditionally favored by Hikaru Nakamura, this system emphasizes kingside pawn storms and hypermodern dynamism.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular King's Indian Defense (Nge2), this line chooses Bg5. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a statistically stronger weapon. This move exerts pressure on the d8-h4 diagonal. Note that engines consider this speculative, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion and control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure..
Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with h6 or O-O, leading into the King's Indian.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +1.23), with a high probability of a draw.
