Special

This is a rare and special book, along with Gligoric's book on the Nimzo-Indian. It has its own unique organization, emphasizing common positions, and it has tremendous internal cross-references. It is not biased toward white or black, but is a comprehensive study of all major lines resulting after 4. e3. It is a rare breed of chess book, one that should be found and treasured. It is much more than a mere openings book. It is a classic.

Complete Review Well Written & Presented

This book covers the 4. e3 variations of the Nimzo Indian. The Nimzo Indian is the only opening that I play with Black AND white. This book gives me all I need to play this line for both sides. You see IM Pleister tells the STORY of this variation. He has no axe to grind. He just lays it all out. Recent game references abound, the typeface is good, Diagrams are good - though as always I could stand more of them. There are lots of complete games -- old ones new ones and the classics. The games are situated with the lines they refer to not in a group at the back. Overall, I prefer the way ICE has done it. An excellent book.
