5...Ne4 6. Qc2 Qh4?? 7. g3 Qg4 8. f3 |
|
Oct-23-03 | | Helloween: 5...c5 is the line that makes this one very tough to play effectively as White. Black has much better pawns and is ahead in development. |

 | | tpstar: <WTHarvey> Great puzzles! Thanks for the link. A few typos: 1c) Scheffner-Oeljeklaus - no White Queen (presumably Qd1) 2c) Perez-Vallejo-Pons - Bf3+ (not Bf6+)
2e) Schmehl-Schmidt - Qd6+ (add check)
For 2d) Biro-Bokros please consider adding the continuation Qxf3 Nf4+ to fully explain the solution. |

 | | WTHarvey: <tpstar> Thanks! I'll try to be much more careful in the future. |

May-18-08 | | holland oats: I love playing the black side of the Nimzo-Indian, especially in blitz games. Its very solid, and its easy to get in some tactical fireworks if white slips up. Check out this trappy E24 blitz game I played as black...it serves as another example of why not to accept the double rook sacrifice! 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.a3 Bxc3+ 5.bxc3 b6 6.Nf3 Bb7 7.e3 c5 8.Bd3 d6 9.Qc2 Nbd7 10.O-O Bxf3 11.gxf3 Nh5! 12.Bxh7? Qg5+ 13.Kh1 Qh4? 14.Qe4 Nf4?! 15.Qxa8+ Ke7 16. Qxh8?? Qh3! 17.Rg1 Qxf3+ 18.Rg2 Qxg2# |

Jul-24-08 | | Alphastar: I play this as white with excellent results. |
|
Jul-24-08 | | jaybugg13: Seems like a nicely balanced opening, wonder why it's not played at high levels much anymore? |
|
Jul-24-08 | | Alphastar: <jaybugg13> because the antidote has been worked out - see line E25. |
|
Aug-07-12 | | Tigranny: Love this with White. Just beat somebody yesterday with it. Also my favorite way to play the Nimzo-Indian with White. |

 | | eternaloptimist: This variation has definitely fallen out of fashion since there are no games listed in the CG database that have been played w/ this variation since 2017.: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... white is a GM who beat a GM so since black is a GM in this game & black had a rating that’s a good bit higher than white’s rating, that shows that this variation is playable for white. Although I think the classical variation (4.♕c2) is most likely the best variation for white |

We saw 4.e3 0-0 5.a3 in the recent world championship. Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023 |

 | | eternaloptimist: <keypusher> What happened is I looked at the “RECENT” game mentioned under the diagram on this page: Opening Explorer
& it’s a game from 2017. Apparently it means recent & not most recent. I stand corrected. I really enjoyed the match between Ding & Nepo. I’m happy that Ding won it! |
