Queen's Indian is something i probably seen too much, and oftentimes the game will turn into both side jockeying for positional advantages for the endgame. On the other hand, we could stir shit up with a sharp benoni  | ||

Generally, it's better to play sharply as black, as it drastically increases your win chances. On correspondence games like this one however, people have 24 hours to think about their move, so sharp play will often not work out too well. So you're right, defensive play is the way to go for now. | ||

Anything less than that really black can and does win all the time, and it doesnt take nearly as much to gain a positional advantage or failing that gaining an advantage from superior tactics when the game transitions from pos>to tactics. | ||
