Secrets of Opening Surprises

Jul-04-07    get Reti: I like this opening for white obviously because after the four left-central pawns are exchanged, white can play e4. I'm suprised there's no comments. Is this a good way to get out of the main line in the Nimzo-Indian? Jul-04-07    yavuz1990: I think white's pawn structure is weak at queen's side and white's knight has some developing problems because the f3 square isn't empty! Pawn e4 compensates all these disadvantages, but I wouldn't play 4.a3. Still, white has a good winning rate(%34,1), so this line maybe worthy to play Jul-24-08    Alphastar: Here 7. ..Nxd5 8. dxc5 Qa5 9. e4 Ne7! is at least equal. The antidote versus the Samisch.
