Absolutely nothing wrong with advertising your book on your channel. Your videos are free and exceptionally educative.
Yep, I already have a copy!!! Very good coverage too!
The line featured at 32:13 is really nice for black, and I actually played this in a correspondence game a few months ago.
Beautiful work, thank you very much!
Congratulations !!!
Cant wait to read what you advocate in the f3 nimzo and saemisch
This is a very good book. I already bought it (too bad, since I could have had a signed version) because I am looking for a new repertoire where strategical knowledge is more important than knowing a lot of specific lines. It seems this repertoire fits the bill. It also seems to me that this Hubner variations looks like an improved Czech Benoni after white plays d4-d5: we have about the same central pawn formation, but black already solved the problem of his black colored bishop, black has more space for his pieces and white already has a potential weakness due to his damaged pawn structure. Now I need to find something like this against 1.e4 too. Would you happen to know something similar (strategical based) against 1.e4 that fits with a Nimzo/Bogo repertoire, Mr. Sielecki?
Frank Vermeulen FYI, Mr. Sielicki plays e5 against e4, and he has a series of videos that cover what he plays against most of White approaches.
daeuri Thank you for reminding me about it. I once knew, but forgot about it, so I will take a look at it.
Frank Vermeulen daeuri christof has been playing 1. e4 e5 long before he started the nimzo. a good chunk of e4 e5 games end up as a ruy lopez, and he plays the chigorin, but he's made several comments that he wants to get away from it. i'm also interested in what 1. e4 defense shares ideas with the nimzo.
jason engler Because e4 openings tend to lead to open to semi-open positions, you would be hard pressed to find a defense that shares the same ideas with the Nimzo. The closest is the Winawer French because you have the b4 Bishop pinning the c3 Knight. That said, I don't know any of the top players that play that combination of defenses on a regular basis.
Many of the top players who play the Nimzo play e5 against e4 on a pretty regular basis (i.e. Carlsen, Aronian and Adams). Both defenses are strategically sound and very hard to crack. The people who play these combination of defenses may also tend to adhere to the old school notion that one plays to win with White and draw with Black.
jason engler I forgot the McCutcheon French also has Nf6, e6, and Bb4 set-up against White's e4 and Nc3 combo (Although the early d5 distinguishes it from a Nimzo).
Maybe your next book will be about the Reti for White??
Will this repertoire be available on Chessable with the move trainer?
he worked on a different nimzo repertoire on chessable. looks like this one isn't going to be there.
Hehe now I don't need the book anymore. :P jk, I'll purchase a copy once I have some spare change.

Yeah I’m really late here but this book is fantastic. I worked through it quite seriously a while back and these lines all served me very well. Now I am working through the Chessable Lifetime Nimzo-Ragozin repertoire which is just as good. Excellent author.
I wanted to add the Nimzo to my repertoire and was planning on trying it in a recent tournament although didn't really get the chance. I watched a video series on Chess24 on the Nimzo and I must say I both like the lines here better and hell even though this was only an overview I think it was more useful to me than the whole series on Chess24 which was a bit incoherent and lacked proper explanation. I will definately be getting the book and will send Christof an e-mail ;-)
Zibbit Hope you post a review in due time.
number94 Yup, probably will. Book should be in the mail soon :-)
a few questions. 1) what's the min FIDE rating necessary for the reader to really make use of this book? 2) you're a big fan of the bishop pair. why do you choose an opening where you can likely trade off the bishop very early? 3) when you face the nimzo on the white side, what line do you play?
jason engler 1) maybe 1700/1800+ 2) There is no opening with black based on getting the bishop pair :-) Jokes aside, black gets some compensation for giving up the bishop, like pawn structure or tempi. It's just a good opening. 3) I like 4 Qc2 for serious games, the Saemisch is fun in less important games or blitz.
Since yesterday... I have it!!! It`s excellent :)
Sadly I missed the dedicated lines & the signature, but maybe we will meet one day in a tournament or so ... :D
Thx a lot!!! =)
Can you make a White Repertoire book for 1.Nf3 next please? I would really like to play 1.Nf3 like you do.
So I see that 4. Bd2 Qe7 is not covered in your book! I found 3 games of yours [Hertneck, Armbruster & DeLeyn; all drawn!] where this was played and, looking in the databases etc, this is the most popular option?! I suppose that you may well consider a future video dealing with this very line!
Thanks for your video. I will be using this as a guide to help me in my video presentation on the Bogo-Indian and nimzo-Indian.
I think that the reason why Black scores pretty well in this Leningrad variation with e6 (Benoni-like structure) is the fact that Black obtains the more-or-less similar position to The Snake Benoni with 2 extra tempi.
I bought your book and I really like it very easy to read and understand.Cant wait to try it out thanks 😃.
Hi Christof! I own the book and I am very happy with it. The only thing that crosses my mind is what to do vs. 1.c4 or 1.Nf3 delaying Nc3, and what to do if white plays Nc3 but never goes d4 (not like in your catalan chapter)
EDIT: sorry, I just saw you responding another commentary. Play e5!, and Nc6. About the strategy, do you adopt a dark square pawn structure again? Isn´t the bishop in g2 very powerful along the diagonal, and isn´t difficult to develope black´s light square bishop?
Hello Christof, I am new suscriber to your channel (1 month ago).I really like your channel as much that I am planinng to change my repertoire to your recomendations. 1) However, Are you still have books in your stock?, I know is available in amazon and is already in my cart but I prefer to buy from yourself. 2) I saw your video in C24 about 1.e4 e5 but it is in german :(, I saw your videos in your channel about 1.e4 e5 but I really like any book support, I have Kaufman book. Or Do you recommend me Bologan's book to follow your recomendations?. 3) What to do for complete your repertoire (1.Nf3, 1.c4), any recommendation or any book?. Thank you so much for your help!...Your videos are really good, super instructive and funny!! :)
OK, so how exactly do I buy your book? The only store listed on Everyman Chess's webpage that's inside EU is Amazon UK. And being located in the EU is kind of a must since otherwise there are import fees and taxes.
But Amazon UK don't have it, and none of the resellers they have listed ship to anywhere other than the UK as far as I can tell.
You seriously need to call your publisher and tell them they're screwing up.
EDIT: Okay, apparently it's available through the official shop of the Danish chess federation. I guess I can console myself with supporting the local chess federation while overpaying for the book.
Received the book on Monday - already love it! Christof's explanations based on strategic concepts (not just lines of variations) are wonderfully clear, beginning with the Introduction. Many other well-known authors (John Nunn comes to mind) could learn a thing or two about abstracting and explaining ideas.
I have my new opening system as Black. :-) And CE says I will receive my GM title soon - it must be true.
Thanks for the great video. I like to know what I buy before I actually buy it. I have one question. What about 1.d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. f3 ; Do I just give the check on b4 and it transposes, or is something else better?
Questions ? 1- I noticed that e6 is played more than g6 because of the resistance it offers for e4 square. but benoni in my view does not provide such a defense, why people still play benoni?
I ordered a copy from Chris directly. Thanks for your "blatant" advertisement. :)
Hallo Chris. Sorry, weiß ehrlichgesagt nicht ob du die Information in diesem Video gibst. Aber könntest Du mir die ISBN Nummerder deutschen Version deines Buches verraten. So könnte ich es mir bestellen. Danke im Vorraus!!
Hi, I bought your book, are you coming to america anytime soon, how can I get an autograph? can I get one?
I ordered your excellent book on Amazon. I hope you get the same royalty!
jhillarybrown The difference is about 600%, so there is a reason why I offered the book to order from me :-)
Thanks for getting it anyway!
This is a great book. I got it a few weeks ago and it is really nice. Well worth it.
What is the program you are using in the video?
thanks for the great content! this book is really solid. I have a question: is there any merit to 1. d4 e6 2. c4 Bb4+? I'm interested in 1...e6 to give the option to transpose to the French. Is the + on turn 2 only a transpositional tool, or is there independent theory there?
+Derek Riebau There is some independent theory. One point is that after 3 Nc3 you don't have to play Nf6 to go Nimzo, but are able to play moves like 3...b6 or 3...c5 which are interesting to try. If you play the French 1...e6 is very interesting to play against the d-pawn.
hi thank's for the videos
i ams algerian and i play the nimzo with both coulors , i wanna buy your book, is it possible to export it in algeria ? if not there is another way to get it? thank's
+Ryan suchet Should be possible. Please write me a mail about it.
I've been thinking of adopting these openings into my own repertoire. Like you I've pretty much settled on 1.e4 e5 as black, but I have always struggled on deciding what to play vs. 1.d4. I'd love to play the Nimzo/Bogo but I wonder how they might fit into the rest of my repertoire. What would you recommend for us non-masters with limited study time for playing against 1.c4 and 1.Nf3? A lot of us amateurs are raised on the Open Games and it would be nice to have a simple game plan against c4 and Nf3 that fits in with the Nimzo/Bogo (Sicilian players have it easy if they play the symmetrical English. They can just play c5 vs. c4 and Nf3). Maybe the symmetrical English against 1.c4 and if 1.Nf3 Nf6 then 2.d4 e6 or 2.c4 c5? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all the videos by the way. This is my favorite channel by far!
+Matt Rudd Hi and thanks for the feedback. One idea that I like is to play 1 c4 e5 as black and go for Bb4 based setups which has some similarities with the Nimzo/Bogo complex and meet 1 Nf3 Nf6 2 c4 with 2...Nc6!? After anything other than 3 d4 Black goes ...e5 to transpose into c4 e5 lines mentioned earlier. So 3 d4 e6 is critical which transposes to the Tango opening. Here 4 Nc3 Bb4 gets us back into Nimzo/Bogo areas, as is 4 g3 Bb4+. So 4 a3 is to be checked, which however is playable for black as well with 4...d6 or 4...d5. I played this move order a couple of times and fared OK. Of course you can also play the Symmetrical English. 1 Nf3 c5 2 e4 is a problem, but if you adopt some offbeat system like 2...a6 in the rare cases that someone goes 2 e4 it should be alright.
Thanks so much for the tips, that helps a lot! I really like the idea of playing e5 against the English with the idea of playing Bb4. It fits in well with the rest of the theme. Thanks again!
Is this your first book?
Ich freu mich drauf, Christof!
YAAAAAAAAAY :D
The nimzo-benoni... Shall we call that the "Nimzoni"? =)
DiceEsque Nimzoni sounds like noodles from a chef boyardee can :$ I vote for Benzo!
DiceEsque "Bozo" more like.
DiceEsque ha this is fun. How about the Benomzo?
