nimzo english
Sort:
don't u mean nimzo-indian or not?
Nope, the nimzo english is
1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3 Bb4
or with a different move order....
1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 Nc6 4.Nc3 Bb4
its my favourite reply to the english coz it very often transforms into the NIMZO-INDIAN
It's a very good reply against the classical english move order.
However, against the accelerated fiancetto move order (1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 Nc6 4. Nc3 Bb4) white can play 5.Nd5! with a good game.

What!? Don't attach "Nimzo" to anything that has a Bb4 move (otherwise many other openings would be unduly credited to Nimzowitsch...) The only "Nimzo-English" I know is 1.c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e6 3. g3 Bb4 which still has the possibility of becoming a Nimzo-Indian. 1...e5 takes it completely out of nimzo-indian territory.

I know that its an official opening, but its not a "nimzo-english" because of 1...e5. Its simply an "english" (or perhaps english Four knights if I'm not mistaken).
