The Queen's Indian Defense (QID) is defined by the moves:
- 1. d4 Nf6
- 2. c4 e6
- 3. Nf3 b6
This opening is a solid defense to the Queen's Pawn Game, 1.d4. With 3...b6 Black increases control over the central light squares e4 and d5 by preparing to fianchetto the queen's bishop. The opening derives its name from this maneuver. As in other Indian defenses, Black attempts to control the center with pieces, instead of occupying it with pawns in the more classical style.
By playing 3.Nf3, White sidesteps the Nimzo-Indian Defense that arises after 3.Nc3 Bb4. The Queen's Indian Defense is regarded as the sister opening of the Nimzo-Indian, since both openings aim to impede White's efforts to gain full control of the center by playing e2–e4. Together, they form one of Black's most well-respected responses to 1.d4.
