In his Nimzo/Bogo repertoire, Sielecki recommends <b>6...0-0</b>, which doesn't receive so much as a mention (not even by transposition).<br /><br />Nor do I see <b>1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+ 4.Nbd2 d6</b> (also Sielecki's repertoire) anywhere. Indeed, games I've played previously with the Bogo-Indian run out somewhere between moves 8 and 10. I like the historical introduction, but I don't think there's nearly enough analysis or investigation of variations to call this even "somewhat comprehensive." And the commentary is, in general, quite light.<br /><br />I'll give it some more concentrated study, but my first impressions are not terribly positive. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1547985567 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1547985567 Tue, 22 Jan 2019 10:17:59 GMT According to IM Bronznik 3.Nd2 c5 (because after 4.a3 Bxd2+ 5.Bxd2 pawn d4 is unprotected) and 3...b6 4.a3 Be7 5.e4 Bb7 6.Ngf3 Nh6 7.Bd3 f5 8.O-O O-O (Gurevich-Miezis, Olympiade 2008) offer White nothing. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1385116218 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1385116218 Sat, 8 Dec 2018 21:35:55 GMT Do you guys know if the Modern Bogo is treated in any of Avrukh's books? I can't seem to find it, but it should be in there somewhere, right? https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1480788100 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1480788100 Sun, 10 Sep 2017 12:59:02 GMT Late to this discussion, but I rather thought that one of the advantages the Bogo had over the Old Indian was that the exchange of a pair of minor pieces left Black's position less cramped. I can't pretend to be an expert in either line (and would echo the importance of taste above), but I remember getting squeezed in the Old Indian, and had knights and bishops tripping over each other in close quarters. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1466535860 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1466535860 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 20:22:51 GMT Quick look the disc looks good. I it only coveres the 4 Bd2 line.<br />The disc is a repertour based and not based on annotated games.<br />After the repertour section there comes a couple of excercises. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1387589627 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1387589627 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:25:36 GMT Probably all books by Korchnoi are interesting. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1371828552 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1371828552 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 21:17:26 GMT I found them they are on youtube.com onlinechesslessons.net channel. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1365797355 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1365797355 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 01:22:50 GMT Bobby, your lines look playable; give them a try.  I still don't know what you want from the rest of us, though, so I don't think that I have anything else to add.  <br /> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1328214161 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1328214161 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:35:31 GMT I also think this thread is a bit silly since it can also be compared to some defences to 1 e4 and also some other defences to 1 d4 like exchange slav.<br /><br />For example, why play French when an opponnet can play exchange variation?<br />And why play sicilian when there are several anti sicilians with drawish repetation and lots of forced draws in the sharpest lines of open Sicilian?<br /><br />The answer is simply , play chess and play against the opponent and not the opening and it is possible to win against all openings! https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1326953724 ChessPub Forum/Bogo-Indian https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1326953724 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:43:17 GMT If you mean theroetically speaking, there has hardly been any books on the subject for ages! I think that latest book was realiced in 1998. There is of course Schikovs discs from 2008 but there ares some improvments in some lines. However, there has been lots of Catalan repertour books for white when Bb4+ transposes in most cases. GM Makarov is supposed to be writting a book at Bogo Indian and a book at Nimzo Indian but there has been many delays.
