    Hey All,
    Is anyone on RHP a Strong Nimzo-Indian Defense player? Who are you? And is the Nimzo-Indian Defense played often among GMs, IMs, or FMs?

    I'm not strong so it's irrelevant whether I play it. I don't see much 1.d4 so I don't play it often. But it is played frequently at the top levels.

    http://www.365chess.com/opening.php?m=7&n=39&ms=d4.Nf6.c4.e6.Nc3.Bb4&ns=7.14.11.33.38.39

    In Wijk an Zee this year it was played by Radjabov against Caruana, Caruana against Aronian, and So against Carlsen, all to draws.

    what about this attack:

    1.d4 Nf6
    2.g4!

    That destroy any black defense..... maybe is called Bronstein Gambit but has other names as well

    If white allows it - the Nimzo has been one of the favored defenses vs d4 for 60 years.

    I think that was from the first page of the book:

    Play 1.d4 Nf6 2.g4!
