Nimzo-Indian Defense: Sämisch Variation
Overview
Nimzo-Indian Defense: Sämisch Variation is a variation within the Indian Defenses family, indexed as ECO E27.
The Indian Defenses group covers Indian defences — hypermodern lines where Black challenges the centre with pieces rather than pawns.
The line arises from 10 plies — specifically the moves 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. a3 Bxc3+ 5. bxc3 O-O.
It is a variation of Nimzo-Indian Defense: Sämisch Variation, which itself descends from the root opening Nimzo-Indian Defense.
