What are the moves?

It sounds weird - the Nimzo is an opening Black plays, so you'd think an "Anti-Nimzo" would be something white plays -- not something you play against 1.Nf3.

?

Right.

It seems natural to play like this if your answer to 1.d4 is the Nimzo / Queen's Indian combination. If you usually play something different, then it's not as good, since then you'd need to learn the Nimzo just because somebody might use this move order.

It's a general problem of replies to 1.Nf3 (except for 1...c5, but then White can make it a symmetrical English or a Sicilian -- only useful when you play those).

Right now I'm reading a bit of Khalifman's "Opening for Black according to Karpov", a repertoire for Black based on Karpov's openings. It recommends the Nimzo and Queen's Indian, and 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 b6. (And the Caro-Kann and 1.c4 e5). It's quite nice, a very solid but not drawish repertoire in a small book.

But I don't have experience with it yet, people don't play 1.Nf3 very often...

After 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 is the most common move and one often used by Kramnik in the 90s. This line is considered slightly better for white than the normal Qc2 nimzo as white has not yet committed to d4 and therefore has not relinquished the fight for the e4 square. Khalifman covers this line in detail in the 1st edition of Opening Repertoire for White According to Kramnik, and Karpov gives it a treatment in his "How to Play the English Opening."

Yea if you want coverage of the Qc2 Nimzo-English then you want to get Opening Repertoire for White According to Kramnik 1st Edition book 2. Don't get the second edition as it advocates a 3.g3 move order instead of 3.Nc3.

Thanks Eric.
