This Playing the Nimzo-Indian by Renier Castellanos is an English-language softcover chess book for players who want to build a complete Black repertoire against 1.d4 around the Nimzo-Indian Defence.
What this book covers
The Nimzo-Indian Defence has been one of the most important answers to 1.d4 for more than a century. In this book, Renier Castellanos focuses on the line 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 and presents a repertoire built around active, counterattacking ideas rather than passive equality.
Why it stands out
The emphasis is on understanding the opening’s ideas as well as the moves themselves, so the book is aimed at readers who want a practical repertoire they can use in study and over the board.
