• Queen’s Pawn Setups: London, Zukertort, and Blackmar-Diemer Gambit attempts offer surprise weapons and attacking possibilities that keep games lively.
• King’s Indian Attack & Fianchetto: Mastery over flexible fianchetto schemes reveals comfort in slower systems with potent kingside attacking chances.
