Classical opening variations in TEAM

Playing with Queen finding threads is usually fun and makes your opponent shaky about your Queen's manouvers.
Here are basic variations that you can play in the classical opening.


Queen's Attack:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. Qg1-j4 ..

Best choice to play in many cases. Queen can sooner jump to j9 from where she can attack both weak spots m6 and b9. Or she can go to the central squares where she has a lot of attacky potential, finding some weaknesses and making his oppents uncomfortable. The only thing is you have to be careful using this opening to not lose your Queen or to not waste many tempos with her, while your opponent can start focus with his minor pieces. Soon I will focus more on this line which I have played many times with good results.

Queen's Attack Passive variation:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. Qg1-i3 ..

This variation can be useful sometimes taking blue's Knight on c9 if allowed and also protects your partner's i13 in some variations when green possibly plays l9. Bad things are you can't jump to j9 and your Queen will soon be attacked by the Knight (Nl6 .. Nk4/Nj5) or pawn (k4 .. j4).

Queen's Attack Poison Pawn attack:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. Qg1-k5 ..

This variation theoretically stops blue's bishop from moving, but taking the pawn b5, but also taking might be usually unpleasent. Good thing is that she can jump to k8 from where it attacks two soft spots b8 and m6.

Queen's Knight variation:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. Ne1-f3 ..

A solid enough move, brings Knight into the game and avoids some tricks based on diagonal. A good alternative is also:

Queen's Pawn Passive variation:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. f2-f3 ..

Also this move opens up another diagonal for Queen.

Another opening opens up light-square bishop and avoids blue from playing c6 attacking f2 whenever red moves the Queen, and also prevents blue's Queen's Knight from jumping to d4 in some variations:

Light-square bishop opening:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. e2-e3 ..

The last opening in the classical:

King's Knight Attack:
1. h2-h3 .. b7-c7 .. g13-g12 .. m8-l8
2. Nj1-i3 ..

Good thing about this move is that Knight can soon jump to k4 or j5 from where can give check to green's King. The only drowback is, it blocks the Queen from coming out.
