Indian Defense

I very often fall for this sneaky opening idea of transposing into the French Defense, because you know, you're premoving a lot in the first moves. But my opponent didn't do it well and I quickly got the bishop pair and a improved version of the French. White seemed active once he placed the rook on d6 but that wasn't leading to anywhere, since black's position is rock solid. Actually, white weaknesses started to hurt very soon and after ...Nb4 white is surprisingly helpless. The way I converted wasn't perfect but it was good enough as my opponent was so harmless that it didn't tickle me. LOL.
