The 4 e3 Nimzo is extraordinarily rich in strategy. All manner of different central pawn-structures can arise, such as the blocked centre characteristic of the Hübner Variation and a variety of IQP positions. Moreover, in some lines the central tension persists well into the middlegame. The 4 e3 Nimzo provides a stern test of both players' understanding of chess, and so is an ideal choice for those who are looking to win as either colour.
The Nimzo-Indian Defence is the cornerstone in the repertoires of countless top grandmasters as well as several current and former World champions due to its flexibility and ability to provide positions that allow black the opportunity to play for more than equality.
This edition is a reprint of the 2002 classic.
