By playing Qe7, the player enters the Gunderam Defense, a setup within the Gunderam Defense complex. Diverging from the common Elephant Gambit (d5), this line chooses Qe7. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move brings the Queen out early.
Going forward, the critical task is to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure. Data analysis shows a 39% win rate for White, indicating White advantage.
