Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense
Overview
Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense is a named branch in the Flank Openings group of chess theory, classified under ECO A47.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
It begins with 4 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 b6 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Indian Defense: Knights Variation, part of the broader Queen's Pawn Game system.
3 named variations grow from this line, including Indian Defense: Schnepper Gambit, Marienbad System, Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense.
Together the deeper variations number 4 across the full subtree.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
