I've updated my White repertoire against the Nimzo-Indian, based on the method of the positional Nimzo assassin, Sammy Reshevsky. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4, I want to play simply 4.e3 intending Nge2 and a3. I am happy to publish the following e-book of annotated games, date-stamped in case I decided to supplement or revise it in the future.
Below is an opening outline to sort out Black's fourth-move options, and the links go to illustrative game examples.
