The Neo-Old Indian: 2.Bg5 (A41) is a notable Neo-Old Indian variation, marked by the move Bg5. Traditionally favored by Vishy Anand, this system emphasizes controlling the center with pieces.
Strategic Context: Departing from the popular Neo-Old Indian (g3), this line chooses Bg5. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move exerts pressure on the d8-h4 diagonal. Plans should focus on how to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly and control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure..
Next Steps: As the position develops, the priority becomes to emphasize piece activity and king safety as lines open rapidly.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.32), with a high probability of a draw.
