The nasty Nimzowitsch Defence DVD

Endelig en DVD med den sjeldne åpningen Nimzowitsch' forsvar 1 e4 Sc6!?. Etter 2 d4 vises begge mulighetene 2... d5 og 2... e5. Etter 2 Sf3 blir det overgang til en Pirc med 2... d6 3 d4 Sf6 4 Sc3 g6, med springeren på c6, men uten mange kritiske muligheter for hvit. Spennende og originalt stoff!

*ChessBase sin egen omtale:

The Nimzowitsch Defence, 1.e4 Nc6, is a lesser-known and by far less popular branch of opening theory from the great strategist Aron Nimzowitsch. Unlike the Nimzo-Indian Defence, which has acquired a reputation as one of the soundest replies to 1.d4, 1...Nc6 as an answer to 1.e4 is generally thought to be one of the least sound replies. The main reason for that lies probably in the fact that Black willfully blocks his c-pawn as soon as move 1, which more dogmatic players will regard as highly suspicious.

There are, however, many other factors besides the mobility of the respective c-pawns, and this video series will explore rather rare, yet fully playable lines for Black. Its primary focus is a version of the Pirc Defence after 1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nc3 g6 where Black has avoided the sharpest variations, at the small cost of some flexibility, since his knight is already committed to c6.Christian Bauer will also recommend ways to handle secondary options for White as well as the second main line beginning with the move 2.d4.
