1. d4
|
Because I know the e4 and d4 open I know the proper response according to what I learned from the 1960's when Fischer and Spassky were at it... |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... Nf6
|
I like the Nimzo Attack by you know who. I also like King's Indian Defense. |
|
| |
|
|
2. c4
|
The usual for White. |
|
| |
|
|
2... e6
|
I go for the NIMZO ATTACK instead of the King's Indian. Either will do. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3
|
The usual. |
|
| |
|
|
3... Bb4
|
The Nimzo Attack. I learned this as an attack and not a defense. I learned it in the 60's against White. Today they call it a Defense; however, in my days it was an attack. |
|
| |
|
|
4. e3
|
White is willing to suffer stacked pawns on "c" rank for the trade.
However, my bishop is still attacking and I can develop a pawn to the front to apply extra pressure without mercy. |
|
| |
|
|
4... d5
|
This does not alleviate the NIMZO ATTACK. It can develop rapidly to complicate White. |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bd3
|
I want c7 to c5 anyway. It is the NIMZO ATTACK. Nothing here is changing this. |
|
| |
|
|
5... c5
|
Now the Classical NIMZO ATTACK is in operation with my c5. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nge2
|
He is clearing and defending house here; but the NIMZO ATTACK is on schedule. |
|
| |
|
|
6... cxd4
|
His knight at c3 is useless. |
|
| |
|
|
7. exd4
|
A forthright pawn trade to diminish the NIMZO ATTACK. |
|
| |
|
|
7... dxc4
|
It results in an isolated pawn for white |
|
| |
|
|
8. Bxc4
|
He should get his king 0-0'd. |
|
| |
|
|
8... O-O
|
I do mine first. |
|
| |
|
|
9. O-O
|
He follows. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nc6
|
I am developing whilst seeing I may have to move my knight that just JUMPED out. |
|
| |
|
|
10. a3
|
Pressuring my bishop to another place.... |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bd6
|
If he wants to continue pushing my bishop let him do so... |
|
