I thought of starting a new topic called Nimzo-Indian Defense, although I do not know it at all, hoping that perhaps someone could comment a game I played elsewhere, which was to be Nimzo-Indian Defense: Leningrad Variation.

I have a feeling I could have handled it a lot better and let's see if someone could give a helping hand here.

It was most definitely an interesting game. I think that in the endgame you had enough time to manouver you knight to defend the passing B pawn

This is most intriguing. I may try it in my game against DoctorPepper. We will try and put it up on the TG forum

Thank you, killthequeen, for your comments. I am glad somebody finds my games interesting. I feel I've been losing my touch lately - maybe in a need of a vacation.

Drawing was partly luck that it was a flank pawn left instead of a central one

NIce game jimthemagic. I need some time to check it out inmore detail but I think killthequeen has a point about the protection of the b-pawn with the Knight. That would have been your pass to winning the game. I see your opponent likes to swap all the peices down given the chance, which leads to drawish games. If you play thiat person again I would try to prevent trades.

 

Thanks for sharing

I don't think I shall meet the opponent again. Luckily I've found a better site to improve my chess and that is chess.com. Chess.com offers a lot wider variety of challenges.

Chess.com is one of the best sites around. Its only weakness is Live chess. Live chess doesn't work on my computer, so for that aspect I use the site Instant Chess

I have a question: what if Qb3 is excecuted on move 4 instead? How should the Bishop be defended? Does anyone know?

Avatar of killthequeen

I would play a5. NOT Nc6 because d5 will chase it away, conceding at least a piece

I think the best continuation is c5. Correct me if I am wrong.
