The Mighty Queen’s Indian Defense. This repertoire for Black avoids nasty surprises and stabilizes your opening. So that later in the game, you can count on your reliable foundation to support your quest for the win.
It takes on White’s most popular d4-move order —
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 — with the rock-solid
3…b6 and
4…Bb7. You have plenty of ways to continue from here. But jdac’s choice of
…d7-d5…
Takes Control Of The Light Squares
And Reduces Blunder-Inducing Complications
Your formation not only stops White’s planned central takeover… along with the scary attacking ideas that come with it. It also sets up a perimeter in which your pieces can safely maneuver.
And thanks to the
461 trainable variations in the course, you’ll know just how to stir up winning chances from your rock-solid start.
The Mighty Queen’s Indian Defense shows you…
💪 When precisely to play …d7-d5. Push the pawn too early and you “kill” your b7-bishop. But expand in the center at the right time, and the game becomes a breeze to play.
💪 How to turn a potentially weak c-pawn into hanging pawns. These pawns secure central outposts for your knights and bishops… enabling them to attack any part of the board.
💪 Recapturing “rules of thumb,” which get rid of redundant pieces that crowd your position. So those that remain can coordinate and fight better.
💪 In-between moves… which slow down the opponent’s development to a crawl. So much so, it’s like you’re playing with an extra move or two!
💪 When to give the opponent a central pawn duo — only to turn it into a static target that’s near-impossible to defend. White must choose between “gifting” you a pawn… or a pleasant endgame where you have all the winning chances.
💪 “Aggressive” prophylaxis… which locks the opponent out of your kingside. This way, you can get your own attack rolling full steam ahead.
PLUS, jdac also included a chapter with
28 model games.
