- Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Queen's Indian Defense!
Few chess openings offer fighting chances like the Queen's Indian Defense. The Queen's Indian Defense looks to put immediate pressure on white and take the opponent out of their comfort zone. The Queen's Indian Defense is hypermodern in that it doesn't immediately fight for the center of the board. Instead it targets the pawn on c4 and looks to gain attacking chances right out of the opening. The Queen's Indian Defense starts with the following moves:
1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 e6
3. Nf3 b6
By playing b6, black is looking to fianchetto the bishop, but in an abnormal way! We aren't necessarily forcing the bishop to b7, but instead to a6 in some lines and variations. This can easily make the game awkward for the d4 player and can possibly lead them to losing the exchange. The Queen's Indian Defense is a top tier chess opening because of the chess moves, chess strategy, chess tactics, chess ideas, chess theory, chess tricks, chess traps, and chess principles that have made it a common occurrence at the master and grandmaster level. The Queen's Indian is an awesome chess opening for beginner chess players as it teaches you how to play chess and how to win at chess. It is a strong chess opening system for black against d4, easily one of the best and strongest replies. It has long-term goals with possible short-term rewards. The Queen's Indian can help you improve at chess fast and win games quickly. We hope you enjoy learning how to play this amazing chess opening which gives black a fighting chance against d4!

Top 10 Chess Openings for Black Against d4 PREMIERES AUGUST 2! Here is the link! czcams.com/video/XtFn7mXj-TI/video.html
Professor Ruddell,
Thank you again for another amazing video!
I think you have done the King's Indian Defense, King's Indian Attack, and now the Queen's Indian Defense.
Would you please consider completing the quadrilogy with the Queen's Indian Attack?
Thank you again for all you have done for the chess community.
Hey John! Yes I can totally do the Queen's Indian Attack. This is a great idea and I just added this to my notes.
GM Aman Hambleton did a YT recently that showed a lot of his (admittedly much lower rated) opponents were blind to the white bishop on B2. Well, fine, I don't play many GMs, so this will work on a good percentage of my human opponents (and none of my silicon foes, of course). So I am on your page. Larsen's Opening for the 21st Century. Cheers.
2:25 g3 Ba6 b3 Bb4+ Nbd2
4:39 g3 Ba6 b3 Bb4+ Bd2 (b5 idea or stonewall)
10:38 g3 Ba6 Qa4 without taking on c5 (Queen fianchetto)
14:13 g3 Ba6 Qa4 taking on c5
16:27 Petrosian variation with e3
17:22 Petrosian variation with Qc2
20:46 Kasparov variation
22:19 Spassky system
Thank u so much for bringing us this powerful opening weapon. I have lost to it a lot so I know it's strength.
Of course Aaliyan, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if there's any other chess openings that you'd like to get some videos on!
@@TheChessGiant I would love to see a video on Evan's Gambit.
Great chess opening, honestly not sure why I haven't covered it yet. I'll make this one a priority!
Binging a lot of your opening videos and I gotta say you do a very good job at explaining openings for the intermediate player who is working towards advanced and expert. Thanks and keep up the good work
Hey! Thank you for the kind words man. Super glad to hear you're enjoying the opening videos. Always feel free to send me any questions or even other openings you'd want to see covered. More on the way and wishing you a good week!
Wow, I have never seen the QID in this light. My games are always a struggle for equality. Some interesting ideas I will try out. Thanks.
Hey James! Let me know how it goes!
At 3:54, the knight on d4 is almost trapped. You can play A6 and C5, which attacks the trapped knight, but saving the bishop is the better choice If the opponent doesn't make escape squares for the knight, you can simply win it by playing A6 first and then C5
Hey Will Smith the Oger. Hope you've been well man.
Ya I hadn't thought of this idea but I like it! Thanks for sharing this
Nimzo and Queens Indians are elite openings!
I'm very happy that suit my style and by watching your videos, without reading any theory,i managed to win many games!
Thank you!
Great chameleon possibilities, too. Just like you can turn a Larsen's into a Colle-Zukertort, as Black the Queen's Indian can morph into a Tartakower. What I'm trying to understand better is what the basic middlegame goals are, given the pawn structure imposed by the opening. How to plan, or how to see what must be done, given the pawn structure. I appreciate you making these openings understandable, instead of the blizzard effect that some chessbooks throw at you.
Thanks, Solomon. Hope you're doing well.
Totally Alan! Chess Openings are so much more than just memorizing variations and lines, we really need to learn to understand the middlegame positions that arise and the system as a whole. Thanks for the kind words. I hope you're doing well too my friend.
Wow! I've searched a good tutorial for Queen's Indian for so long and this simply blew me away. Thank you so much for making this! Subscribed!
Hey brotha! Super glad to hear you enjoyed it, and thanks for subscribing! Always feel free to let me know if there's any other chess openings you'd want to see covered on the channel or even any chess related questions you might have!
Thanks for another great opening video, Solomon. You've been a huge influence in my ability to defend against D4 with your Nimzo-Indian video and now this Queens-Indian video. 🙌
Thanks Keith! Glad you enjoyed it - ya both of these openings are great systems. I've been playing the Nimzo/Bogo for about 15 years and the Queen's Indian is great as well and creates some imbalances and inequalities which allow black to complicate things and fight for the win. Let me know if there's any other openings you'd like to see! Wishing you a great weekend brotha.
Can't wait for this! Love your videos and the QID alongside the Nimzo has been my opening choice against 1. d4 for so long!
Thank you Remy! I've personally been playing just the Nimzo-Indian Defense for years but I've been trying out the Queen's Indian Defense as well lately and it's super strong!
@@TheChessGiant I absolutely love the openings, especially the QID since it can be played against the English and the London as well as standard Queen's pawn openings! Really appreciate your videos. I have been considering a switch to the Grunfeld Defense recently though and I wondered if you would ever do a video covering the Anti-Grunfeld 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3?
I couldn't agree more! And yes that's a great idea. Would you want how to play against the Anti-Grunfeld? We made a video on how to play the Grunfeld, but didn't cover that specific variation!
@@TheChessGiant yes please, I mean, if it's not too much trouble. I've been putting some study into the Grunfeld for the past few weeks and the Anti-Grunfeld is proving to be a real difficulty for me, so I'd really appreciate it! :)))
Seriously, how do you only have only 16.8k subscribers? Your videos are fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you brotha! Appreciate the kind words man. Hopefully we can grow bigger someday. Thanks for joining the journey!
Excellent analysis...
Thank you Chadetrik! Glad you got something out of it, the Queen's Indian Defense is great.
Great, great video. I've been trying to learn QID by running through analysis and this gave me a lot more insight than reading random stockfish lines. Thank you!
You got it Stefan! Glad you found it helpful, the Queen's Indian Defense is a great choice.
Great video! Queen's Indian better than the Benko Gambit against d4 as the Benko is too risky against strong players. QID is the way too go. I really learned a lot from this lesson. Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yes, at the higher levels of play openings like the Queen's Indian Defense are getting a lot more run time now than gambits since there are refutations and even variations that guarantee a slight edge. I would say the Benko can still work though black just needs to be extremely well prepared and know that they can go into the endgame a pawn down but with slightly more activity and coordination of the pieces.
Wow, lots of information here in a very concise 23 minutes. Learning the Queens Indian now as black (I've played against it many times as white), hadn't seen some of this analysis before such as the f5 idea to prevent e4 and give black a good stonewall setup. Would be interested to hear your analysis against 4) g3 Ba6 5) Qc2. Do you recommend Bb7 or an immediate c5 (or something else)?
Ur videos r incredible and help me so much thank u
god bless you for this amazing video, much appreciation
God bless you as well my friend! Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey solomon it’s Jacques from camp I said I was gonna sub
Hey what's up! Thanks I appreciate that! I hope you've been well.
@@TheChessGiant ya I’ve been good how about u are u still at camp?
Yep! One more week to go. Been an awesome summer, definitely considering coming again in 2022.
Outstanding, thanks!
Thank you for this amazing introduction to QID. I never get bored while watching your videos.
Could you do me a little favor?
I'm really not able to decide which opening to play against d4.
In your opinion which of these opening theories is easier to learn?
KID
NID + QID
Modern Benoni
Dutch defense
All these are interesting to me but precise play is required to have a winning chance. So I want to pick one and master it. I personally love the aggressive nature of KID but the theory is vast and I don't have much time to study.
Hey! In terms of what is easiest to learn, I would probably say the Dutch Defense but only a small percentage of people like that option for black. (By the way, if you do, there's nothing wrong with that!!) The English Defense is also a good option as we play b6 and see if we will transpose into an Owen's Defense or not. Finally, I've been playing the Nimzo-Indian and Bogo-Indian for nearly my whole life. Both of these have similar ideas and give you a playable game. The Old Benoni Defense is also very easy to learn. I'm sorry, I am probably mentioning too many openings but there are a few you may like!
10:45 can you explain the point of Ba6 if we’re just gonna play Bb7 after Qa4 or Qc2? Isn’t the queen just better there than on d1, so why not Bb7 in the first place?
Great video btw
I just found your channel, and I love it! Keep going and thanks for the videos!
What's up Joe, thanks brotha! You got it! More on the way!
Can you please ignore the poll results and make endgame videos (other than rook n pawn)
Would be of great help
Thank you
Hey Arjun! We are going to keep going after chess openings, eventually with goal of covering every single one in existence! However, I'd love to start covering chess endgames as well!
Nothing but respect for this!
Same here! A great chess opening for black that doesn't damage the pawn structure or safety of the king but still really puts the pressure on white!
Very nice.
Thanks Anjan! Glad you enjoyed it. Queen's Indian Defense is one of my favorites.
Just wanted to let you know in the description it says the Queen’s Gambit starts with (the following moves) instead of QID
Just fixed this!! Thank you!
@@TheChessGiant no problem!
can you tell me the checkmate pattern??
your not up a peice for a pawn at 4.28 its even material. Good videos nonetheless.
Hey! I should've said "up the exchange" for a pawn... sorry about that. And thanks!
