Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical Variation, Vitolins-Adorjan Gambit
Overview
Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical Variation, Vitolins-Adorjan Gambit is a gambit, classified under ECO code E32 within the Indian Defenses family. As with all gambits, one side sacrifices material early — usually a pawn — in exchange for development, open lines, or initiative.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
