About the Indian Defense
Black answers 1.d4 with 1...Nf6, controlling e4 with a piece instead of a pawn. This flexible move can lead to many systems.
Black waits to see White's setup before choosing ...e6, ...g6 or ...c5.
Many lines use a fianchetto, with the bishop on g7 or b7.
Early ...c5 and ...b5 ideas (like the Benko) fight for the queenside.
