The book presents a Black repertoire based on the Nimzo-Indian Defence. From the "Preface": "I wrote this book for the adventurer who wants to start playing the Nimzo but is afraid of drowning in its lines. My creative task is to provide the reader with useful practical advice while sparing him unnecessary learning overhead." Igor Lysyj

Weiß beginnt - Schwarz gewinnt!

Die Untersuchungen in diesem Buch über die inhaltsreiche und strategisch außerordentlich gehaltvolle Nimzowitsch-Indische Verteidigung gehen davon aus, dass in der modernen Schachpartie Eröffnung, Mittelspiel und Endspiel untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind. Mechanisches Auswendiglernen einer Eröffnung führt in der Turnierpraxis zu einem bösen Erwachen.

Comprehensive coverage of the long-established main line of the Nimzo
 

Ever since Nimzowitsch introduced his flexible, dynamic defence to the queen's pawn, debate has raged over White's best reply.
Many variations have been in and out of fashion, but one line in particular has proved an enduring weapon - the sound and solid 4.e3 line, known as the Rubinstein Variation.

This book is about the Nimzo-Indian Classical line 4.Qc2 (also known as the Capablanca Variation) and the 4.Bd2-line, for which basically I could not find an established name.

Hit the Nimzowitsch Variation with 6.d5!

The ultra-sharp pawn sacrifice 6.d5 has caused a revolution in the 4 ... Ba6 line of the Queen's Indian Defence in recent years. The ingenious gambit was hotly debated at the highest level by players like Alexey Shirov, for White, and Peter Leko, for Black. At club level it became a dangerous weapon for attackers. Hungarian grandmaster Imre Hera and Turkish FIDE master Ufuk Tuncer have charted this topicalline and analysed it deeply.They give a clear overview ofthe history ofthe line and have thoroughly investigated all Black's answers in separate parts and chapters. The deep and often spectacular variations are illuminated by instructive and entertaining prose.

A Cutting-Edge Gambit against the Queen's Indian aims to provide a repertoire for the white player, but anyone who plays the line with black is also well advised to study this work carefully! It presents countless brilliant resources and eye-catching novelties.

Imre Hera became a chess grandmaster in 2007 and has won many tournaments in classical and rapid play. He is a successful player in team championships throughout Europe. Ufuk Tuncer is aTurkish FIDE master who lives in Germany. He is an active player and a well-known opening theoretician who has written highly topical Surveys for New In ChessYearbooks.

"The book shows why the line is so attractive for White: fascinating chess, great complexity, chances to create fantastic attacking possibilities. This is exactly what we love chess tor"
