The Slav Defense (D10) is a notable Slav Defense variation, marked by the move c6. Traditionally favored by Vladimir Kramnik, this system emphasizes solid walls and bishop activity.
Strategic Context: Deviating from the common Queen's Gambit Declined (c5), this line chooses c6. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move supports the center aggressively. Plans should focus on how to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: Going forward, the critical task is to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.06), with a high probability of a draw.
