The King's Pawn Game: Beyer Gambit (C20) is a distinct King's Pawn Game variation, defined by the move d5. Historically played by Mikhail Tal, this system highlights sacrificial initiative.
Strategic Context: Departing from the common Center Game Accepted (exd4), this line chooses d5. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls e4 and c4. Plans should focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: In the resulting middlegame, players must focus on how to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.72), with a high probability of a draw.
