Description
The Queen's Indian Defense (in this game reached via my 1.c4) is a line where White enjoys a variety of ways to play for a small, stable edge. This game is NOT one of those instances, though! :) In the old main line with 4.g3 Bb7 5.Bg2, something goes wrong with my thought process, and I proceed to misplace my pieces. I proceed to have to "fight out of a phone booth" and seize any good chance available for counterplay.
