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.

Download or read book The Queen s Indian written by Jouni Yrjola and published by Gambit Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides detailed coverage and strategic explanation of all lines of the Queen's Indian, with particular focus on the most critical and topical variations. The Queen's Indian is one of the most important modern chess openings. It was one of the key battlegrounds of the Kasparov vs. Karpov world championship matches. It is renowned for its resilience, but is nevertheless a good choice for those seeking to win with either color. Both White and Black have plenty of ways to complicate, and there are few lines where either side is forced to exchange pieces off into a dull endgame. The Queen's Indian is the 'companion' opening of the Nimzo-Indian, and was also a brainchild of the great chess thinker Aron Nimzowitsch. Black establishes his light-squared bishop on the long diagonal, and if White is not careful, this can form the basis of a devastating attack. In the critical lines, White contests this diagonal, either by trying to block it with a pawn advance, or by opposing Black's bishop with a fianchetto of his own.

Book excerpt: Life isn't black and white. If we believe we have it all figured out, we stop looking for all of the wonderful layers yet uncovered. My wedding ring needed to be appraised for insurance purposes. While I was at the jeweler's, they polished it. When I got the ring back, it was absolutely spectacular, shinier than I knew was possible. I believe this is what occurs when we release beliefs and behaviors that hold us back or when we open ourselves to new ideas. We don't even realize what we're missing because we think everything is just fine the way it is. As we let go of what was in favor of what can be, we become so much more. I didn't request that my ring be polished because I thought it was already beautiful. I understand now that there is always more to uncover and to learn in order to shine in our full potential. from Passing on Hope Passing on Hope is my invitation to you heal the past, get present, assess your beliefs, allow yourself to become more of who you long to be and enjoy a fulfilling life right now, not someday. All of us have rich stories that can uplift and inspire others who have forgotten their greatness. When we dare to forgive, start anew and let go of the pain from our past, we reconnect with the divine power that lies within each of us. This book is filled with my life adventures that have taken me from merely existing in the dimness of fear to enthusiastically and passionately living in hope. Hope is where our lives begin to shift; it lifts us above life circumstances so we can see beyond, where all things are possible!
