Most of the Wo rld Champions have relied upon the Nimzo at some point in their careers. What is the reason for this? Basically it is due to the logic and simplicity of this defensive forma­ tion, since with his first three moves Black obeys the most important opening principles: develop­ ment, control of the centre and preparation for castling, to ensure the safety of the king. Moreover, he does so while retaining great flexibility regarding his eventual set-up and structure. When Black uses the Nimzo-Indian it is very rare for him to fall behind in development, so that he is almost never overwhelmed by a lightning attack in the opening. The main and in fact only problem for Black is that he has to be willing to give up his dark-squared bishop, which means that his kingside is weakened slightly and White gains the famous advantage of the bishop-pair. How­ ever, Black always obtains something in return forthis strategic concession, whether it be better pawn-structure (doubled white pawns on the c-file, isolated or hanging pawns in the enemy camp, etc.) a pawn-majority in the centre, or a considerable advantage in development which enables him, with energetic play, to maintain the balance. Black's best-known and most common playing methods of play and strategies in this defence are : • blockade of the position (to restrict the scope of the enemy bishops, with pawns on c5, d6 and eS); • attack on the doubled pawn on the c-file ( ... b6, ....ia6, ... tt'la5); • creation, blockade and siege of an isolated queen's pawn, or pressure against hanging pawns. Nevertheless, we shall also see many other modem ideas where the only way to exploit White's lag in development is to play actively, even opening the position, with the aim of inflicting perma­ nent weaknesses on White or obtaining some other compensation for the bishop-pair. White has tried virtually everything to gain some advantage against this solid defence and at var­ ious times it has looked as if he had finally achieved this goal with one line or another, but each time the defenders ofthe Nimzo-Indian have come up with a way to neutralize the possible advantage. 6 CHESS EXPLAINED: THE NIMZO-INDIAN Chapter 1 is devoted to the Samisch Variation (4 a3 or 4 f3), owing to its importance for under­ standing the basic ideas in the struggle which takes place between the bishop-pair and the superior pawn-structure or the better development. There is no doubt that the most reputable lines for White are the Classical or Capablanca line 4 �c2 and the Rubinstein System 4 e3. To each of these systems we have therefore devoted two chapters, each presenting different methods of handling the position for Black. In Chapter 2 we shall see the most energetic way to play against the Capablanca Variation (4 �c2 d5 !?), immediately breaking in the centre and by forceful play creating a whole series of com­ plications. Black's main objective here is to punish White for the luxury he has allowed himself of losing several tempi in order to gain the bishop-pair without spoiling his structure. In Chapter 3 (4 'ifc2 0-0) Black employs a more restrained method of play, giving priority to completing his queenside development before starting action in the centre. We shall study the Rubinstein System (4 e3) in Chapters 4 and 5. From among the many ways of meeting it we have chosen to focus on the most popular and the hotly debated at the present time, concentrating on the move-order 4 ...0-0 followed by ...d5. The five games in Chapter 4 show how to play when White employs development systems based on moving his king's knight to e2, whereas in Chapter 5 we shall see games in which White opts for the more natural set-up with lt'Jf3 and ..id3. The dangerous variation with 4 g3 (or 4 lt'Jf3 and g3) is the theme of Chapter 6. There we shall observe the differences created by the deployment of White's king's bishop on the long diagonal and we shall study two ways for Black to deal with this troublesome variation. Chapter 7 is devoted to the Leningrad Vari ation (4 ..ig5) and other minor lines against the Nimzo-Indian Defence, among which the move 4 'i¥b3 standsout. In respect of the Leningrad Vari­ ation, we shall study the gambit with ... c5 and ...b5, which has become popular again at the present time, as well as more traditional methods, but with an emphasis on putting pressure on the ad­ vanced white pawn on d5. The aim of this book is to offerthe greatest possible coverage of the different systems that both sides can employ in the vast Nimzo-Indian complex. I have tried to include as many important vari­ ations as possible with different strategic themes, but obviously we would need several volumes to cover the long history of this popular opening. After studying this book, a player should have enough information to put this opening into prac­ tice in tournaments. Furthermore, the reader will have enriched his arsenal of strategic knowledge, since this is one of the defences richest in positional ideas. If this is achieved, the author's objective will have been fulfilled. GM Reinaldo Ve ra 1 Samisch Variation: 4 a3 or 4 f3 Introduction The first chapter of this book is dedicated to the systems with 4 a3 or 4 f3. Why? For two funda­ mental reasons. First, these variations present us with the most basic and characteristic struggle of the Nimzo-lndian Defence, where White obtains the bishop-pair or gains control of the centre and Black seeks counterplay against the doubled pawns or contests the aforementioned central occupa­ tion. The second reason is that these are the most ambitious lines for White and the most dangerous for Black. White's idea in both cases is obvious: in the case of 4 f3 the immediate occupation of the centre, and with 4 a3 the gain of the bishop-pair and the subsequent occupation of the centre with f3 and e4. They often transpose, which is why they are being studied in the same chapter. These variations have always had the support of great players: Botvinnik and Spassky in the past, Shirov later on and at the present time a whole generation of GMs headed by Milov, Yakovich, Vo lkov and Moskalenko, to mention just a few of those who have investigated this variation, creat­ ing many ideas on the white side. Getting down to details, in the case of the direct 4 a3 we shall look at the system in which Black, after doubling the pawns on the c-file with 4 ... .ixc3+, goes immediatelyafter the c4-pawn (5 ...b6, ... i.a6and ...tt:'lc6!?), which does not leave White with a great deal of choice. He must either attack on the kingside, in many cases sacrificing the c-pawn, or else the defend the pawn, tying down some of his pieces. Black has sufficientdefensive resources in both cases, and there ensues a fight to the death in which the plans are quite clear for both sides.

    NEW ZEALAND CHESS FEDERATION INC. PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT 2020 GRANDMASTER MURRAY CHANDLER Last year we congratulated ourselves on the record-breaking number of NZCF rated games played – some 11,619 in 12 months. This year the situation unexpectedly and dramatically changed, due to the dreadful impact of the Covid-19 virus. The playing of chess was now – paradoxically – a fairly high-risk activity, due to players being in close proximity for lengthy periods of time. NZCF Council had to make some fast and critically important decisions. At an emergency zoom meeting of Council representatives from around New Zealand we debated the issue. The verdict was clear - at Government Covid Alert Level 2 or higher we could not sanction official events. Chess had to do its part in trying to keep the coronavirus from taking hold in New Zealand. I would like to thank the entire Council for their input and wise counsel during this difficult year: Paul Spiller, Winsome Stretch, Nigel Metge, Mike Steadman, Ying Wang, Bob Gibbons, Stan Yee, Hilton Bennet, Ross Jackson, Russell Dive, Craig Hall and Quentin Johnson. MULTIPLE OVER-THE-BOARD EVENTS CANCELLED As a sad but necessary consequence of the potential pandemic events had to be cancelled. Chess club organisers throughout the country were put in a difficult position of deciding whether or not it was safe to open. Tournament casualties included the North Island Championship, scheduled for a high- profile venue in the Auckland CBD. The annual Waitakere tournament, the Wellington Easter, the Latvian Rapid. And so on… Our Olympiad squad – already preparing for the Moscow Olympiad - was stood down.

Security measures for the record field meant that even with teams turning up early for play, not everyone could be processed by the scheduled 3 p.m. start.

    Boris Gelfand’s Remarkable Comeback Yochanan Afek reports back from the star-studded Netanya International Chess Festival A big International Festival was organised in the coastal Israeli city of Netanya by the Israeli Chess Federation and the local municipality, supported by the generosity of businessman Roman Abramovich, likely best known to the readers as the owner of Chelsea Football Club. It has been quite a while since Netanya last hosted a strong international chess event, but the city has a long and respectable tradition of grandmaster tournaments. They were initially part of the popular Schach-Kait (Chess & Holiday) festival. Over the years various master tournaments were held as well as many editions of a grandmaster crown group, whose winners included the world- class icons Bobby Fischer (1968), Sammy Reshevsky (1969), Lubomir Kavalek (1971 and 1973), and Jan Timman (1975), as well as local heroes Yair Kraidman (1964) and Moshe Czerniak (1965).

  • FIDE) Gegründet 1924, 165 Länder
    SCHACH Jahresbericht 2013 Das Jahr 2013 bringt bemerkenswerte Ergebnissen der Österreicher bei der Einzel-EM im Mai in Legnica, Polen. Bundestrainer David Shengelia führt nach fünf von elf Runden sensationell das Feld an und sorgt für internationale Schlagzeilen. In der Folge kann Shengelia das hohe Tempo nicht halten. Eine Performance von 2658 ist aber deutlich über seiner Erwartung. Die Sensation im rot-weiß-roten Team ist Robert Kreisl. Der Leobner erzielt wie Shengelia sechs Punkte und holt mit einer Eloleistung von 2655 seine erste Großmeisternorm. Er ist zudem jener Spieler der EM der seine Einstufung am weitesten übertroffen hat und erhält dafür einen Spezialpreis. Markus Ragger steht am Anfang zwar im Schatten seiner beiden Teamkollegen lässt aber von Anfang an keinen Zweifel, dass er sein hohes Ziel, die Qualifikation für den World Cup, fest im Auge hat. Einen kleinen Rückschlag erleidet er in der achten Runde mit seiner einzigen Niederlage. Ragger kontert unmittelbar mit seinen Siegen vier und fünf und sichert mit einem Remis in der Schlussrunde einen Top-20 Platz und die Teilnahme am World Cup. Der World Cup 2013 wurde im August im norwegischen Tromsö als Generalprobe für die Schach-Olympiade 2014 ausgetragen. Im spannenden K.O.-Modus besiegt Ragger nach einem 1:1 in den klassischen Partien den Russen Ivan Popov in den Schnellpartien mit 1,5:0,5 und ist damit in den Top-64. In der zweiten Runde spielt Ragger mit Nikita Vitiugov erneut gegen einen Russen. Nach spannendem Kampf scheidet Ragger mit 1,5:2,5 leider aus, kann aber diese Erfahrungen für die Zukunft mitnehmen.
