A matter of taste at present! Not only a matter of taste but a matter of theoretical health: the Nimzo is in better shape than KID (Bayonet, Fiancheto). I'd dispute that since the Bayonet hasn't been a theoretical challenge for Black for some time and Black has found a number of improvements over Avrukh's repertoire, especially in the Panno.

	I undersand you may doubt between KID, Benko, Benoni, Leningrad, Semi-Slav and other kind of openings that allows black to take the initiative like in the Najdorf. What I don't understand is you may dobut with the NID/QID, a more common choice among Caro-Khan or French players.

	Assuming that in playing the Najdorf, you aren't afraid of lots of (fluctuating) theory, I suspect either would work. The QID might not be quite to your liking, but there are options there: 1. NID/Benko 2. NID/Ragozin I have been playing the Ragozin exclusively for some time, and I really like it, but maybe the positions are to my liking (I don't play the Najdorf and have never really considered the Black side of the KID). The KID might involve preparing variations in a single opening. Or you might also consider the Grünfeld, though I've never been fond of it. Dutch?

	Hi friends: I am playing Najdorf against 1.e4 and I love my dynamics chances, not great risk but a lot of opportunity to score the full point. I am trying to decide what to play against 1.d4. and I can not decide which one gives me the same chances as the Najdorf. I am not fond of the positions that come with Benoni. Thanks a lot
