"I especially enjoyed The Queen's Indian by Peter Wells, who has a marvelous writing style. There are gems of wisdom in his notes, which can be detailed but not overly technical." - Cecil Rosner, Winnipeg Free Press
Chess Explained is a new series of books about chess openings. They are not theoretical works in the traditional sense, but more a series of lessons from a chess expert with extensive over-the-board experience with an opening. 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. It is an opening rich in nuances, and many of the modern main lines involve moves that look extravagant, but are backed up by a deep underlying logic.
"GM Wells surely has the best credentials to put such a concept into practice not only his active praxis, but also his experience as trainer and author" - Gerd Treppner, Rochade
Peter Wells is a grandmaster from England who regularly competes in international tournaments and team events. He was runner-up in the British Championship in 1991, 1999 and 2004, and qualified for the knockout stages of FIDE's world championship in 1997. Wells is a much-acclaimed writer, noted for his work on both opening play and middlegame strategy. He has a wealth of experience as a trainer, including acting as a second for British super-GMs Luke McShane and Michael Adams.
"...aimed at the aspiring player who lacks a coach and needs a guide to explain what is important in the opening, what the reliable variations are and what typical middlegame plans crop up time and time again. Wells does all this and more in a book that is a pleasure to read..." - IM John Donaldson, USA Team Captain
"Rather than focus on variation after variation in a database style or the old opening manual style of Modern Chess Openings, [Gambit] have focused instead on explaining the ideas behind the opening and have done so in a manner that will appeal to the novice or intermediate player rather than an expert or a master. While other publishers have also done this, ... the key difference for Gambit is the length to which their author, in this case Peter Wells, explains the kinds of middlegames that each variation tends to create and the depth and clarity of the annotation of the explanatory game." - Bill Whited, www.chesscountry.com

Being rated around 2000 I have just taken up 1.d4 seriously. This is my first book on this opening and it is very good in explaining the ideas. It doesn't show every possible variation, but as the author often says: "this position should be familiar". When I look through my games I often find themes that related to one of the example games in the book. However, at a higher level, this it probably not the book for you. Basically its purpose is to explain the ideas.A big plus that it is, for my, at the exact right level. Many diagrams explaining lots of ideas, even in the side variation. This is a book that can be read without a board, although I suggest to download the games he refers to in the variations. You need to understand such concepts as "weak pawns", "open files" and "advantage of the bishop pair", so perhaps 1800 and up is a good level.
Very happy to see the author going into the endgames in many games, which is neglected in many books that only show you the opening moves. Also thankfully, the author never uses those += symbols that often are often useless.

Chess Explained The Queen Indian edition by Peter Wells Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
what a great book! relatively easy to read, and i'm learning a great deal about structures and middlegame plans. lots of explanations of ideas, manoevers, when you want to do something and when you don't, etc. i'd give it six stars if i could.
I like the presentation of the material -- the author explains the ideas behind the typical structures arising from this opening and gives some of the history, and he illustrates the main opening variations with complete games, explained throughout with text rather than endless variations.
It's unfortunate, however, that neither the author nor his editor appear to have even a basic command of English. Opening to a random page, I find by way of example the following "The realization that an inaccuracy has granted the opponent an unnecessary active resource can be a very disorientating experience and even for a player of Beliavsky's enormous class ...." "Disorientating"? I find the use of that word rather disorienting. "Enormous" class?! A chess player may have an enormous talent or belly, but his class is high or low, it's not measured by size. This isn't mere quibbling. The author's insistence on (mis)using 25 words where 3 would have expressed the point clearly is not just transparently pretentious, it makes the read extraordinarily frustrating as you have to spend energy figuring out what the author meant by his gibberish.
Thus, instead of "the text-move is still considered solid notwithstanding the recent fashionability of 4...Ba6," we get the following "However, for all that, it would feel like a blow to the prestige of the Queen's Indian if the unpretentious text-move were to be found wanting and fortunately it is fair to say that this, so far as I know, has never been seriously suggested." And so it goes, Qa4 is "emphatically not a preface to Qxa7," and you can only scratch your head over what "a soothing influence on the central light squares" means. I rate this book a very conflicted 3 stars instead of 5 because, although I love the great material in here, the effort required of the reader to translate each sentence of gobbledygook into a coherent thought ends up making you want to throw the book against the wall.
I'm not going to judge to Queen's Indian Defence. It's reliable and used by many of the top Grand Masters around the world. That's all I'll say about that. The book, however, does a great job of providing explanitary prose so that we may learn this most playable and dynamic opening. The book's primary aim, I think, is to provide a playable repetiore against 1.d4, provide some analysis, but mainly emphasise understanding of the ideas and strategies behind black's and white's moves.
If you're considering taking up the Queen's Indian Defence as black, then this book will definitely help. Highly Recommended.
