Chess Explained is a new series of books about chess
openings. They are not theoretical works in the traditional sense, but more a
series of lessons from a chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience
with an opening. You will gain an understanding of the opening and the
middlegames to which it leads, enabling you to find the right moves and plans in
your own games. It is as if you were sitting at the board with a chess coach
answering your questions about the plans for both sides, the ideas behind
particular moves, and what specific knowledge you need to have.
The
Queen's Indian is an important and popular opening at all levels of play.
Black's flexible stance allows him to choose between a range of solid and
dynamic structures. In turn, White can play flexibly, opposing Black's
fianchetto, or can try to force the pace in the centre and start a hand-to-hand
fight. It is an opening rich in nuances, and many of the modern main lines
involve moves that look extravagant, but are backed up by a deep underlying
logic.
Peter Wells is a grandmaster from England who regularly competes
in international tournaments. He was runner-up in the British Championship in
1991, 1999 and 2001. Wells has written extensively on both opening play and
middlegame strategy, and has a wealth of experience as a trainer. He has acted
as a trainer for Luke McShane and assisted world-championship candidate Michael
Adams.
