Interesting trap in the classical Nimzo Indian

Sort:
ErrantDeeds

I found this entirely by accident in a recent game:

4. ..Bxc3+ is not necessary. I think you should wait until white has played a3 - now you are basically giving him an extra tempo for free.

I  think your 'trap' is best answered by 7. Nh3 followed by f3, Nf2, e4, Bd3 etc.

I agree with everyone who says, "Why not g3?"  It isn't the end of the game, unless white resigns, which they shouldn't.
