Queen's Indian 4.g3 Bb7-9...c5 Main Line

Queen's Indian Defence 
4.g3 Bb7 5.Bg2 Be7 6.0–0 0–0 7.Nc3 Ne4 8.Qc2 Nxc3 9.Qxc3 c5(diagram)



9...c5

The 9...c5 is a rock solid variation. GM Timman went wrong when Adams pressured the kingside.

Queen's Indian Hybrid 7...Ne4(E13)

This game shows the advance of theory since IM Greet's Play the Queen's Indian(Everyman 2009).

Play the Quuen's Indian(Everyman 2009)


I defended the Queen's Indian Hybrid in my last tournament with nothing but the most superficial knowledge but now the time has come for a serious upgrade.

Key Position
Here Greet gives 14...Qf6 and notes that 14...0-0 is 'playable looking'.


14.0-0

Here is the feature game where British GM Michael Adams plays 14...0-0 and the move has now become part of main Queen's Indian theory.

Queen’s Indian Hybrid 7..Ne4[E13] 

39th World Open Philadelphia USA (3), 01.07.2011

Position 1
White has been left with a mass of shaky looking pawns. What do you recommend for black now?
