The Nimzo-Indian Defense is a tough chess opening to crack as black is able to establish a very strong bind in the center on the light-squares. However in this chess video, Grandmaster Damian Lemos analyzes a dominant win by Super-GM Vassily Ivanchuk over GM Alexander Graf.
Ivanchuk is able to create instant pressure in the center with rapid development of his queenside pieces, however this leaves him seriously behind in development on the kingside and thus his king is exposed to potentially deadly threats in the center. Ivanchuk maintains a strong grip on his opponent’s counterplay and converts early pressure on black’s center into a dangerous attack against black’s king and a slight but lasting advantage.
