Nimzo-Indian Rubinstein: The ever popular main lines with 4 e3 - Dunnington

The Nimzo-Indian Defence continues to be one of Black's most popular and respected defenses 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 instead simply gets on with the process of developing his remaining pieces. This plan has found favor with many top players; indeed, World Champion Vladimir Kramnik 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 players. All the major variations are covered and Dunnington brings the reader up-to-date with the ever developing theory.

This guide is written by a leading openings expert and includes full coverage of all the major variations while dealing with one of the most fashionable lines of the Nimzo.
