Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
In this book, opening experts John Emms, Chris Ward and Richard Palliser team up to examine one of the most popular and respected openings at all levels of chess: the Nimzo-Indian. However, instead of pursuing the well-trodden paths, they choose an original approach, concentrating on fresh or little-explored variations of the Nimzo, and selecting a wealth of ‘dangerous’ options for both White and Black.





Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - New, Interesting Ideas.
Why I am qualified to review this book: I used to be ranked #25 on the top 100 list for my age. I won third in the N. CA jr. High champs, 3rd at a LA Masters. I have had the honor of working with FM Banawa, from the Philippines, who is now rated 2307 according to January FIDE rating supplement. I have also work with other strong players, with ratings over 2400 USCF.
Now on to the book "Dangerous Weapons: The Nimzo Indian" was mainly written by English IM Richard Palliser, and GM Chris Ward. The Book was pretty good. I believe that the chapter on the Rominishin Gambit (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qc2 d5 5. a3 Bxc3 6. Qxc3 c5!? 7. dxc5 d4) was well worth buying the whole book alone.
There were other great lines that lead to razor sharp play, which many opponents may not know about. If so, you will be expected to win the game, such as the Topalov Gambit, or "Wanting it all" in the Classical (0-0 line), with e4. It also showed a lot of Ne4!? lines in the Nimzo Indian, such as against e3 Ne4!? I tried them in chess, with ok results, but far from impressive.
The problems with this book lies in one thing. Some of their ideas are just plain bad. Thankfully, they clearly state in the beginning that some of the ideas that they give are refuted, or are just plain anti-positional and bad. For an advanced player, this is not a problem, because (s)he can carefully look through the annalists, and find the refuted or bad ones, and just simply ignore them.
It is a very interesting opening book, compiled into 300 pages. Personally, I really thought it was good, though it did have some weak points. I recommend this book to any advanced Nimzo-Indian player, who is good at attacking chess, and wants to go looking for complex, sharp play. For beginners, this is not a bad book, but it would help if you had someone, who is a bit stronger then you look over your openings that you select. This book offers a broad selection of ineteresting openings to choose from, so that is why I really liked it. Great effort from GM Ward, IM Palliser, and the edditor, GM Emms!
