Road to the Grandmaster title - 4th coaching with GM Ramesh RB - Black openings
2020 finished in one of the best possible way. I had a coaching session with GM Ramesh. We discussed opening preparation and decided which openings I will play with the black pieces.

Against 1.d4 I will play the nimzo-indian and the ragozin defense. Against the Catalan opening I will go for the open line with dxc4. Against 1.c4 I play in nimzo-style. If white plays 1.Nf3, then I want to go to the Catalan or symmetrical english 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 c5 to learn new structures.
We discussed briefly the 4.a3 variation of the Nimzo-indian defense. The key ideas:
1. fix the double pawns with c7-c5
2. stop the white attack with Ne8, f7,f5
3. play on the light squares
