We are proud to present a major release by one of Modern Chess’s most respected authors – GM Pier Luigi Basso. His brand-new course “Top-Level Repertoire Against the Nimzo-Indian Defence – Refined” is the most complete and up-to-date guide to 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 – the most principled line against the Nimzo-Indian.

This course is not just an update – it’s a complete transformation. With 28 deeply analyzed theoretical chapters, 8 extensively annotated model games, 50 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a full Video Version, this repertoire gives you everything you need to fight for an opening advantage against one of Black's most elite defenses.

What’s New in 2025?

This massive update builds upon GM Basso's two previous courses on the Nimzo-Indian. But this time, everything is packed into a single refined and complete product. You’ll find:

“The Nimzo Qc2 is the opening I feel most connected to,” writes GM Basso. “This 2025 version represents a big quality leap — it’s now all in one place, fully updated, and ready for serious use at any level.”

Why Play 4.Qc2?

The move 4.Qc2 is considered the most critical test of the Nimzo-Indian. It keeps the tension, protects the knight on c3, and allows White to aim for a strong center. GM Basso’s approach emphasizes deep understanding, modern trends, and flexibility in move order — including powerful early deviations like 5.e4 against 4...O-O, and even lesser-played options like 6.Bf4, a fresh addition to the course.

You will learn how to:

Whether you're already a Qc2 devotee or looking for a new high-class weapon against the Nimzo, this course is your ultimate guide.
