NIMZO-INDIAN DEFENSE The 4 P-KB3 Variation The Nimzo·Indian is for White a difficult opening espec ially because one never knows for sure under which circu mstances his are weak, 0 )' strong. In the early hi story of the Nimzo, therefore, two systems were prevalent aga inst it, that is, because they eliminated the uncertainty one way or another. First, tllcre was (after 1 P- Q4, N- KB3 2 P- QB4, P- K3 3 N-QB3, B- N5) 4 Q- B2 in order to avoid the doubled Pawns; and 4 Q-N3 came in, too, as a like adjullct. And, on the other hand, there was 4 P-QR3 to fo rce the doubling at once. Sub·Var ia t io n A Long years of experience have su pplied important data on the prob­ 8 PxP · . . . lem of the doubled Pawns. Still and yet, nobody knows which o( the many The idea Is to open the position to answers on the fmuth move for White is to be preferred: 4 P- QR3, 4 favor the T WO Bishops and to obtain P- K3, 4 B-NS, 4 P- KN3, 4 N-B3, 4 B- Q2, 4 Q-B2, 4 Q-N3 or 4 P- B3. a strong center by P_K4.
