Nimzo-indian with e3 Nge2 | round 8 of Vezerkepzo June IM | To-Turzo
In round 8 of the Vezerkepzo international tournament I played with the young International Master Nath Minh To.
He played the e3 variation of the Nimzo-indian defense, which was new for me in a classical game. He played the minority attack, but my backward c6 pawn was well defendable and the position close to equal. my decision to exchange the pawn with c6-c5 was bad, because it opened the diagonal for the b2 bishop. Later I defended well and got a close to equal position in the endgame when I made again nice blunder to lose the exchange.
