The Modern Defense: Westermann Gambit (B06) is a distinct Modern Defense variation, defined by the move Bd2. Historically played by Mikhail Tal, this system highlights sacrificial initiative.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Modern Defense (Bc4), this line chooses Bd2. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move activates the Bishop. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: As the position develops, the priority becomes to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.30), with decisive results likely.
