Overview

Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A47), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

It is reached after 12 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 b6 3. e3 Bb7 4. Bd3 e6 5. Nbd2 c5 6. b3 Be7.

The line refines Pseudo Queen's Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
