Best vs Seirawan's anti-NID 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Bg5
There's a guy in my club that always avoids the NID this way. What do you think is the best to face 3.Bg5: 3...c5 a la Benoni, or 3...Bb4+ allowing white's 4.Nd2? Where I could find information?

Tivi vs 1.d4
Apparently Tiviakov is doing two DVDs on the Nimzo, QID and Catalan. The first one is on the latter two. http://www.chessbase-shop.com/en/products/tiviakov_no_fear_of_1d4_vol.%201

Is Winning Chess Middlegames by Sokolov
An okay place to start learning about the Nimzo Indian defense, namely its pawn structure ideas? I mainly got it for its coverage of QGD and QGA structures, but the first chapter is devoted to playing...

Seirawan's Anti-Nimzo from White's perspective
I'm talking about 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Bg5. I'd like to try and make this into a decent white weapon. It has move order benefits (play whatever you like against the QGD/Benoni). It also seems principled...

what about Nf3 and g3
Hi all,
So I hear the Nimzo is a good active defence!!! However the "problem" seems to be what to play vs Nf3 or G3 instead of Nc3. One can play Benoni but modern defence looks formidable and Q... Started 01/07/09 at 19:55:52 by Zatara |
