Description
The Nimzo-Indian Defence continues to be one of Black's most popular and respected defences to queen's pawn openings, and finding an antidote for White has proved to be a difficult task for even the strongest players in the world.
One of the most straightforward replies is the Rubinstein Variation (4.e3), in which White ignores Black's threats and simply gets on with developing his remaining pieces. This plan has found favour with many top players — including Brain Games World Champion Vladimir Kramnik, who used it to defeat Garry Kasparov in just 25 moves in their 2000 match in London.
In this book, renowned openings theoretician Angus Dunnington explains the ideas and strategies for both White and Black. All major variations are covered and readers are brought up to date with the constantly evolving theory.
