The Nimzo-Indian is not only one of the most solid
openings against 1.d4, but it also suits the player with Black who is aiming
from the start for the full point. In many treatments of the opening, White runs
slight risks - doubled pawns and an isolated queen pawn are typical. At the
peak of world chess, there is thus a clear preference for the Classical System
4.Qc2 - in which White usually retains the bishop pair and the pawn structure
remains intact; however on some occasions it is necessary to make up for being
behind in development.
Our author, Knut Neven, has produced an easily comprehensible database with
24 texts and 478 selected and mainly annotated games. After an introduction and
a history of the system and opening, there comes a specially interesting text
about typical motifs which crop up in the Classical System: the advantage of the
bishop pair, the placement of the minor pieces, recurring tactical motifs, key
pawn structures and pressure against c4 are themes which the author explains and
provides with links to sample games. Then there comes the opening theory of the
Classical System in 18 chapters. And as well as that there is also a large
reference database of nearly 23,000 games, of which approximately 1000 are
annotated. The CD is rounded off with a training database and an extensive
opening tree, generated from all the games. All the data on the CD can be
accessed with a reader based on ChessBase 9.0.
