Indian Chess Party. Who came up with Indian defense? What is this debut
Old Indian Protection remains one of the main weapons against 1.D4When playing victory. This popular protection has its own ups and downs throughout the entire modern practice. This debut was very popular in the 50s, thanks to such players like Bronstein, Geller, Glygaric, whose batch gave a big impetus in the development of the theory of Old Indian protection.
1.D4 NF6 2.C4 G6 3.NC3 BG7 4.E4 D6 5.NF3 0-0 6.Be2 E5 7.0-0 NC6 8.D5 NE7
Later, celebrities such as Mikhail Tal and Bobby Fisher also brought fame to this debut. However, the highest peak of popularity of Old-Indian defense received when Harry Casparov began to apply for black, having won a pretty number of amazing victories against the world's top grandmaster at the time.
Several unforgettable parties Harry Kasparov should be remembered in this debut, especially this wonderful victory against the Dutch GM Piket Jeroen:
Kasparov played 20 ... G3!, Sacrificed Rudew and later win through 8 moves.
The list of rivals, defeated Harry Kasparov in this version of the extensive, including A Shirov, Kamsky, Gelfand, Ljubojevic and Korchnoi. However, a few years later, Kasparov began to experience some difficulties against Vladimir Kramnik and his favorite version of 9.B4, later he refused this option. Of course, it is difficult to say that this decision was made only due to theoretical reasons. Apparently, there was still a question of changing the repertoire. Since then, Old Indian Protection is rarely found at the highest level. If we consider modern grandmaster, then only Rajabs Teymur and Nakamura Hikaru from time to time apply it with good results.
In this article, we will look at a few excellent games in this option and provide you with some understanding of the game plan. We will focus on position arising after 8 ... ne7.where white has a few moves, but we will look at the main answer 9. NE1.
Black planning plan:
After moves:
1.D4 NF6 2.C4 G6 3.NC3 BG7 4.E4 D6 5.NF3 0-0 6.Be2 E5 7.0-0 NC6 8.D5 NE7 9.NE1, Black continue 9 ... nd7.To prepare F7-F5. 10.Be3. White attack on the queen flank, promoting its queen paws to open a line with the course of C4-C5. 10 ... F5 11.F3 F4 12.BF2 G5
In the next position, both sides have clear goals: white "destroy" the ferous flank black, attacked by its figures and pawns, and black are trying to do the same on the opposite, where the white king is.
In this embodiment, black has a standard plan: NG6 - NF6 - RF7 - BF8. It is important to know this idea because it is often used, not only after 9. NE1. In the next game, we can appreciate how black managed to coordinate their strength and won a great victory. Let's look at the batch between the two famous legends:
Next, we consider a slightly different plan, but very aggressive - the translation of the rook by vertical \\ "\\" H \\ "\\" with the help of maneuver RF6 - RH6. - and then QE8-QH5. This direct attack can be very effective, and practice has shown that white need to be careful. This plan was seen in the following parties:
As we can see by the parties here, the Mar-del Plata version of Old Indian protection leads to a cruel battle with mutual chances. Those who love to risk and always fight for victory, avoiding drawnings, can consider old-indian protection as a reliable weapon.
Good day, dear friend!
Question on the backfill: What chess debut was reflected in the songs of Vladimir Vysotsky? Answer you probably know if I have little familiar with the work of Vladimir Semenovich. This is Old Indian Protection.
"And he destroys my defense, the old Indian at the moment. This vaguely reminds me of Indo-Pakistani incident ... "
Remember? The unlucky hero of this work was played by the match with "slate" and a classic debut played with fright - old-indian protection.
And now let's get away from the creativity of the poet and return to our chess "land."

An important role in the development of black counterproofs is given fiaketed elephant on G7. It's not by chance that it is called "Starindian" . In many options, white are trying to exchange it on their black elephant even at the cost of a pace pair.
Perhaps, I will refrain from transferring the names of outstanding chess players - supporters of Old Indies and opponents for whites, playing and playing this debut in one way or another. For it is easier to list those who managed the old woman to the side.
And therefore we move directly to the debut:

If you are looking for a simple, but effective way to play black in response to any white stroke except 1. E4, it is definitely worth paying attention to old Indian Protection. This debut is obtained after the moves 1. D4 KF6 2. C4 G6 3. KC3 CG7 4. E4 D6. See Diagram:
Black give the center, avoiding immediate contact, but calculate the counterattack by undermines C5 or E5 later. At the disposal of white development methods. We highlight the main.
1) Attack of four pawns
5. F4.
It looks terrible. White want to dream from the opponent's board with their nice avalanche. But not everything is so sad for black. After the exemplary option 5. ... 0-0 6. KF3 C5 7. D5(In the case of 7. DC F5! Black take on C5 Castle with an active game, TK White do not have time to take on D6 due to the threat to: E4) e6 8. CE2 ED 9. ED CG4 10. 0-0 KBD7 11. H3 C: F3 12. C: F3 le8in black comfortable development, and white pawns do not go further.
2) Zeep System
5. F3.
The main idea of \u200b\u200bwhite is to play se3, fd2, 0-0-0 and then carry out a typical during versatile casting: Сh6, h4, g4, h5 etc.. Black wide selection of retaliation plans. After the casting, you can play KS6 or C6, A6, B5 or cooking C5. And the oldest, proven method is: 5. ... 0-0 6. CE3 E5 7. D5 KH5 8. FD2 F5 etc.
3) classic system
5. KF3.
White make a reasonable developing course. Next, the game usually goes like this: 5. ... 0-0 6. CE2 E5 7. 0-0(If white twice takes on E5, then after k: E4 blacks are playing a pawn - this trick passes in many versions of Old Indian protection.) KS6 8. D5 KE7.
This option is one of the most popular and principled in Old Indian Protection for both colors. The main plans of the parties are as follows.
White will try to use their spatial advantage on the queen flank, undermining the black with B4 and C5. The horse F3 goes through D2 on C4 (after C5) or through E1 on D3. The elephant comes out on A3 or E3. At some point, white can beat on D6 and attack a weak pawn, and also try to invade vertical with.
Black plan - to lead the horse F6 on H5, E8 or D7, play F5 and return to the F6 horse. After the white will fix the center using F3, the blacks play F4 and exercise the honest assault assault on whites: G5, H5, G4 etc.. Such a movement of pawns from its own king is not as dangerous at the closed center. In this embodiment, blacks often give up their queens flank, making a bet only for a desperate attack. The strategy is risky, but often works.
4) Averbach System
The idea is white in the fact that in the case of a standard game of black to undermining the E5 horse F6 will be under the bundle and to spend F5 will not be easy. But there are other plans, for example: 5. ... 0-0 6. FD2 C5 7. D5 E6 8. CD3 ED 9. CD KBD7etc.
5) System 5. H3
Flexible move. It is useful to cover the G4 field from the horse's socks to develop an elephant on E3. Or sometimes white non-completely play G2-G4 to prevent the subsidence F5. The main plan for black standard for Old Indian Protection - E7-E5 after casting.
6) Fianketto System
1. D4 KF6 2. C4 G6 3. KC3 CG7 4. G3
Calm positional system. The response pianketo religibly protects the position of the castle and makes a pawn offensive black on the royal flank less attractive. Possible development of further events: 4. ... 0-0 5. CG2 D6 6. KF3 KBD7 7. 0-0 E5 8. E4 C6 9. H3 LE8 10. CE3 ED 11. K: D4 KC5 12. FS2 A5 - White has a little more space, but the position of the blacks is very strong.
The huge plus of Old Indian Protection is that it can be played on any first move white except E4. It is not necessary to learn separately how to react to 1.d4, the English beginning (1. C4), the debut of retire (1. KF3) itd. You just piankett the elephant and then counterattack the center in one way or another depending on which construction is elected white. As a result, combat asymmetric positions are obtained, in which black is easier to play victory than in more "right" debuts, such as. But, of course, nothing free. The center has a center, and a strong opponent can crush, and not allowing the opportunity to turn the black counterpore. Nevertheless, Old Indian Protection remains a very popular debut at all levels, including grandmaster.
