Avoiding the 4.g3 QID pawn sac line with 4…c6 I think one of the reasons (or the only reason?) why the QID seems to have almost disappeared from top level play is because of this dangerous pawn sac line that White has at his disposal: 1.d4 N...

QID vs QGD? What are the reasons that make people choose the QID over the QGD? Is it down to whether you prefer hanging pawns or the IQP? Started 02/13/20 at 14:20:26 by stockhausen « Pages 1 2 3 all »	31	22367	06/22/21 at 10:41:23 By: dpcjsr

Queen's Indian Books Hello All: I am looking at QID books by Wells (Chess Explained), Emms (Starting Out), Yrjola and Tella, and Aagaard (don't know if I have enough "a"s in there).

Building a QID Repertoire There's been very little activity in the QID thread so hopefully my question will generate some!

Curiousity in the Queen's Indian 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Bb7 5. Bg2 c5 This is supposed to not be very good, but I'll be damned if I can figure out a road to anything for white due to a significant move order nuance on move 9.<br...

Any one playing the queen's indian? Hi friends! I am trying to learn to play well the complex Nimzo/QI against 1.d4.

Do you think Queen's Indian is out of fashion? Why I remember Karpov. M. Adams and Korchnoi made a living playing the QID. But now everyone is playing slav or semislav. I know it can be fashion but now even M. Adams quit playing the QID. Perhaps they ... Started 12/14/12 at 12:16:52 by Pingudon	2	5216	12/14/12 at 12:50:26 By: LostTactic
QI against 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. g3 move order? Hi! Question to peoples who like to play QI defence. What's your reaction on 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. g3!?

Queen's Indian Hedgehog It looks like the QID hedgehog isn't very common but surely there are some theoretically sound lines which lead there. How to get the Hedgehog when playing the QID? Started 04/14/11 at 14:41:25 by rukh	4	9192	06/23/11 at 07:48:50 By: Grijandel
