Opening Overview: Trompowsky Attack

"Departing from the popular Canard Opening (f4), 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."

The move Bg5 signals the Trompowsky Attack, steering the game into independent territory.

Trajectory: From here, play often proceeds with d6 or g6, leading into the Trompowsky 2...d6. 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..

Structure: The board features a Open Center. With a draw rate of 28%, the position is dynamic. Engines evaluate it at -0.37.
