Advance Shirov-Anand Variation

A flexible Advance setup with Be2, O-O, and Nbd2-Nb3 targeting the c5 break and supporting a future Nbd4. White avoids the sharp h4 and Nh3 lines, instead playing for slow, structural pressure. Popular at elite level for its low theoretical maintenance and clear plans.
