The Nimzo-Indian has stood the test of time for over a century: Still a top choice for elite players today, from Magnus Carlsen to Praggnanandhaa, it remains one of Black's most reliable ways to fight for real chances against 1.d4 2.c4 3.Nc3.

Nicholas Pert: An attacking Repertoire with 1.d4 – Vol. 3: King’s Indian, Grünfeld and Sidelines
Nicholas Pert about his DVD:
"In this 3rd and final edition of my 1.d4 series I have focused on all of the lines which were not covered in the 1.d4 d5 (volume 1) or 1. d4 Nf6 (volume 2) videos. These 3 video series together offer the viewer a complete main line White repertoire based on 1.d4. The lines are generally attacking and the positions are designed to give White the maximum chance of putting Black on the back foot from early in the game. The lines are aimed at ambitious players who are looking to develop a long term attacking option as White. Objectively this was the easiest video series of the 3 to produce as White is usually able to gain a comfortable edge by playing sharply and powerfully against Black’s offbeat systems. The variations covered include an interesting sideline (3.h4) vs Kings Indian and Grunfeld players. I have given comprehensive analysis against the Dutch, Modern and Pirc. In addition to this I have analysed what I believe to be the most critical White variations against many of Black’s other tricky 1st moves such as 1..b6, 1...b5, 1...c5, 1...e5, 1...Nc6, 1...e6 and 1...d6."

The Nimzo-Indian has stood the test of time for over a century: Still a top choice for elite players today, from Magnus Carlsen to Praggnanandhaa, it remains one of Black's most reliable ways to fight for real chances against 1.d4 2.c4 3.Nc3.
1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Bb4!? is an opening idea well worth considering. Black immediately threatens to double the pawns on c3 in the style of the Trompowski or Sicilian Grand Prix attack.
