People avoid the Nimzo because they fear it. Don’t avoid it! It’s a great opening but white has excellent setups against it and can get Superior positions against most variations.

I actually like playing against the Nimzo-Indian. I seem to get dominant positions in most games. This game was an extreme example. I was completely winning, with Superior pieces and tactical blows that could’ve ended the game easily. What happened then should be forgotten.
