we can always follow up with b7-b6 or even the offensive b7-b5 to open things up. We're playing against a single player who can form a clear strategy on his own, we need to bring tactics into play since this would be easier for us to exploit as a group. I think a more defensive game plays right into Vekzel's hands. edit: on a different note, Carlsen broke 2800, and is within 9 points of Topalov. Surely, he's destined for great things. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + DECLINED arbiter, why not go for the stronger middle position while we have the opportunity? why get all flashy with benoni? i was never a fan of it | ||

if we play b6 -which we should- we will be playing + Show Spoiler + Queen Indian Defense the analysis of so far and what should come is as follows: + Show Spoiler + Case 1 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 Nc3 Bb7 5 e3 Bb4 6 Bd2 0-0 7 Bd3 Bxc3 8 Bxc3 Ne4 9 Bxe4 Bxe4 10 0-0 f5 and black has slight advantage Case 2 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 Nc3 Bb7 5 Bg5 Be7 6 e3 0-0 7 Bd3 c5 8 0-0 d5 9 cxd5 Nxd5 10 Bxe7 Qxe7 11 Nxd5 exd5 with slight advantage for white but black has a solid defense position Case 3 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 Nc3 Bb7 5 Qc2 !? c5 6 d4xc5 Bxc5 7 e4 Nc6 white has development but strange positioning. this line favors draw or black win another variation of the same line is 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 Nc3 Bb7 5 Qc2 !? Bb4 6 a3 Bxc3 7 Qc3 Ne4 8 Qc3 d6 d6 being novelty. equal position for both a more conservative line 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 Nc3 Bb7 5 e3 Bb4 6 Qc2 Ne4 7 Bd3 f5 8 0-0 Bxc3 9 bxc3 0-0 10 Nd2 Qh4 | ||

Nc3 which is not whites main response to the Queen's Indian. 4. g3 is the more conventional response. I still support playing the Queen's Indian though as it used to be my opening against 1. d4 for quite a while before switching to the semi-slav | ||

Do you guys think 4...Bb4 would be worth it? Or should we just fianchetto one of them? Edit: Eh, I'll go for it. Vote: 4... Bf8-b4 | ||

It simply depends on what people are more comfortable playing...queen's indian or a nimzo/queen's indian hybrid. Both moves are viable. I personally prefer 4...Bb7. Edit: It is quite likely that both will be played. The order simply removes certain lines from consideration. I vote 4...Bc8-b7. | ||
