  Nimzo-Indian Defence is an ideal fighting defence to 1 d4. Black immediately seeks to create pawn weaknesses in his opponent's position in order to exploit these in the middlegame and endgame. In the resulting positions, both sides have clear strategic objectives and the result is decided by the skills of the two players in realizing these objectives. For players with a limited time to study opening variations, this book will ensure a satisfactory and interesting middlegame position and a good knowledge of how it should be handled. This new edition includes an additional chapter on important new ideas which brings the material right up-to-date.
