Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 c5[E38]
Reykjavik Open 2013 Reykjavik, Iceland (6.32), 23.02.2013
Black’s position looks serene. How should black continue?
- 19…Ne5(with the idea of hitting the queen with …Ng6)
- 19…Nf8( with the same idea)
- 19…Rcd8(to support the …d5 break)
- 19…h6 (to take away g5 from the queen)
- Something else
