The Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense (A47) is a distinct Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense variation, defined by the move b6. Historically played by Vishy Anand, this system highlights controlling the center with pieces.
Strategic Context: While Ne4 is the main choice, b6 offers a different perspective. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move aims to control the long diagonal. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and control the key diagonals to exert long-term 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 White advantage (Eval: +0.76), with decisive results likely.
