About This Item
139 pages with diagrams. Octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated by Ralph Lawrence. First American edition. The Queen's Indian Defense[1] (QID) is a chess opening defined by the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6. The opening is a solid defense to the Queen's Pawn Game. 3...b6 increases Black's control over the central light squares e4 and d5 by preparing to fianchetto the queen's bishop, with the opening deriving its name from this maneuver. As in the other Indian defenses, Black attempts to control the center with pieces in hypermodern style, instead of occupying it with pawns in classical style. Condition: Lightly soiled, foxing to preliminaries, corners bumped, light edge wear else very good.
