Bogo-Indian Defense: New England Variation
Overview
Bogo-Indian Defense: New England Variation is a specific line in the Indian Defenses family (ECO E11), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
It begins with 7 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Bb4+ 4. Nfd2 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Bogo-Indian Defense, which traces back to the root opening Indian Defense: Anti-Nimzo-Indian.
