Opening[edit | edit source]

Here I played Indian Game, Anti-Nimzo-indian(E10). It's a variation of Queen's Pawn.

Almost equal. White has a very-small advantage.

It's like this.

After 3. ... d5.

Here I begin with this natural move. So it's White's turn. If you plays White, what do you wanna do?

Of course 4. Nc3, because it develops a piece, and also allows playing Nxd5, guards b5, controls d4.

Allows playing Nxd5[edit | edit source]

Nc3 attacks Black's d5 pawn, so Black must pay attention to his pawn structure. For example:

4. Nc3 c5 5. cxd5 exd5 6. Bg5 and Black cannot play cxd4?, because of 7. Bxf6 Qxf6 Nxd5 captures the pawn.

Guards b5[edit | edit source]

Also, it guards b5, and b5 is a useful square to attack c4 for Black. For example:

4. Nc3 Be7 5. Bf4 and Black cannot play 5. ... dxc4? because after 6. e4 b5 7. Nxb5 captures the b5 pawn. Then, c4 pawn becomes an isolated pawn, that's not good!

Controls e4[edit | edit source]

Nc3 also helps a bit about controling center - it supports e4, and White can push the e-pawn now. For example:

4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e4 and Black cannot play 5. ... Nxe4? because 6. Nxe4 captures the knight.

Sidenote: After 4. Nc3 White can respond to 4. ... Be7 with 5. Bg5.

Pay attention to[edit | edit source]

The White pawn at c4 can capture the Black pawn at d5[edit | edit source]

For example:

4. Nc3 c5 cxd5 exd5 Now the pawn that shields Black king is removed from that line, and White can easily attack the king.

The white bishop at c1 can move to g5 or g5-h4 to capture the black knight at f6[edit | edit source]

This can draw the Black queen away, because after capture the black knight, Black must recapture with his queen. However, the queen is protecting the d5 pawn, therefore, White can take the d5 pawn, in other words, the queen is "overloaded".

The white bishop at f1 supports the white pawn at c4[edit | edit source]

Which means, if Black captures the c4 pawn, then he has an isolated pawn, and White can free his bishop to capture it. For example:

4. Nc3 Nbd7 5. e3 dxc4 6. Bxc4

The unsupported white pawn at c4 is attacked by the black pawn[edit | edit source]

c4 pawn is floating and in danger, so if he plays a move like g3, didn't support c4 or create a counter attack, then Black can take it immediately.

4. g3 c5 5. Bg2 dxc4

The black knight at f6 supports the black pawn at d5[edit | edit source]

4. e3 c5 5. cxd5 Nxd5
