Opening Overview: Queen's Pawn: Neo-Indian

The Queen's Pawn: Neo-Indian (E00) is a distinct Queen's Pawn Game variation, defined by the move e6. Historically played by Vishy Anand, this system highlights controlling the center with pieces.

Strategic Context: While g5 is the consensus choice, e6 offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by accepting a riskier evaluation to avoid heavy theory. This move strengthens the d5 square. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: In the resulting middlegame, players must focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.08), with a high probability of a draw.
