worth mentioning- 4... Bb4+ 5. Nc3 - transposes w/ the nimzo-indian, duchampe variation 4... Bb4+ 5. Bd2 Be7 - transposes w/ the bogo-indian, retreat variation 4... Bb4+ 5. Nd2 - the only line left. which leela scores as +0.11, so really not a threatening line. Not complicated either, it's very normal position. On lichess only about 1/3rd of 2200+ white players respond with Nd2 here. Also, comparing 4... Bb4+ vs. 5... Bb4+ - leela scores the 4... Bb4+ 5. Nd2 better, +0.11 vs. +0.20. Take a look at the lines to see the difference. You could claim b6 is a waste of tempo here, but really it's more of a waiting move, and in this line e3 is also not immediately useful for controlling the center, and Nbd2 doesn't control d5 either. Some players also play a3 on move 5, preventing Bb4+. So I prefer Bb4+ to transpose, and I don't have to think about this opening, but I play Bb4+ on move 4.
I could just play Colle-Z & endup with this exact setup. Is Colle-Z specifically optimized against Nimzo & Queen's Indian? And you're right and I've noticed it's Queen's Indian for white. If there was anything called the Queen's Indian Attack that would be closest thing.
uk that's what happens when you learn a new line for the first time, more often you tend to lose, I still remember studying a line till like move 16 and then giving the whole game away in the middle game
Best chess channel ever♥️🥰
