Very interesting and tactical sequences especially against the Samisch. And OMG. That havoc that is wreaked tactically after the rook lift is insame. Seems like there’s no obvious way to avoid checkmate for white once the rook goes into the air! Mind blown Mio. Thanks for the great stuff. I’m a student and have limited resources. Maybe in the future m, I would like to be a sub and a patron. One day.

@chessmate7368 2 жыл бұрын

At some point, Mio unleased a barrage of arrows simulating attacking Indians on general Custer's 7 Cav. at the "Battle of the Little Bighorn", & that arrow-extravaganza would most likely have crashed the budget of the Hollywood movie Troy. Ohhh... Nimzo I N D I A N... it is slowly sinking in... WOW this is really deep! :)))) And by the way, great show of subliminaleties, as always Mio. Man, sometimes I envy myself for watching your videos.

WOW! This was truly one of the GREATEST opening videos I have EVER seen! Absolutely fantastic explanations and by understanding the ideas, it is much easier to find good moves OTB! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! A quick overview over the opening and the main ideas to get the gist of the opening! I'm very happy and I think I'll play e6 in my tomorrows classical game to surprise my opponent (I usually play the Grünfeld, but he's known for his strong preparation and I'm sure he has found some tricky line against me tomorrow - I'm not having that).

After Nf3, you also can opt for a line in the Benoni that does not have to face the scary four pawns attack. Psychologically, many Nimzo players might prefer the Benoni to more passive defenses such as Queen's Gambit and especially Queen's Indian when White avoids the Nimzo.

I didn't see that one in the video and i run into that quite a bit lol. Btw... thanks to your videos i have back to back wins against a 2000 rated bot with your French main line courses.
