Bogo-Indian Defense: Retreat Variation
Overview
Bogo-Indian Defense: Retreat Variation is a specific line in the Indian Defenses family (ECO E11), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
It begins with 19 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. g3 Bb4+ 5. Bd2 Be7 6. Bg2 O-O 7. O-O c6 8. Qc2 Nbd7 9. Bf4 b6 10. Nbd2 to reach the canonical position.
The line is a first-level refinement of Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
It continues primarily into one named line, Bogo-Indian Defense: Retreat Variation.
