Oct-31-03    Benjamin Lau: Quite possibly the most solid opening in the game, but also quite possibly the most boring, rivaling even the four knights defense (sorry practitioners of the 4 Knights Defense). ;-) Oct-31-03    refutor: i think korchnoi played it to win http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...(E19)+as+Black+ i find it much more exciting than the four knights defense, but that's probably just because i recently picked up the queen's indian, so the novelty hasn't worn off ;) Nov-01-03    Benjamin Lau: <refutor> I play the Queen's Indian defense as black too, so I was kind of joking earlier. ;-) What I don't like is how white fianchettos in response all the time the QID and makes the resulting middlegame positions so exchangeable. On the other hand though, in games where white doesn't fianchetto his own bishop, the middlegame positions can actually become pretty sharp and exciting, with black's fianchetto leading an aggressive counterattack against the white king. Unfortunately, these games tend to be uncommon. May-02-09    nummerzwei: Apparently this line has completely gone out of fashion which is why there is so little kibitzing about it. In spite of that, it seems to be quite interesting (but thoroughly analysed of course) judging from Geller's 1987 monograph (has it also appeared in English?). Which of Black's three main moves (those are 6...Be4, 6...f5 and 6...c5; Geller considered 6...d6 inferior but I think it's not that bad) is nowadays considered best?
