Train it in TheoriaAbout the Anti-Queen's Indian System
The Anti-Queen's Indian System departs from the classical Fianchetto Variation with 6. Nc3. White delays castling to prepare the central thrusts e2-e4 and d4-d5, avoiding the drawish lines that follow 6. O-O. Black most often castles with 6...O-O. The main alternatives are 6...d6 and 6...d5, and the latter has scored well for Black. The engine rates the position as roughly balanced.
