Of course.Tim, will update the first post with pgn as we move along? That would be super helpful for dolts like me.

OK. This seems to be the idea to playing nf6. Anybody have other ideas?3 Nc3 Bb4. pins the knight, threatens to double the pawn. prevents e4......etc. i love the Nimzo.doesn't rule out 3...d5 going back to the QGD.Whats the idea behind this?e6 Nimzo FTWKaspy plays c4.

The only other reasonable option here would be g6 heading for a King's Indian (or Grunfeld).OK. This seems to be the idea to playing nf6.

How can I start a game on chesstime and just move both pieces?I'll send you a chess time invite where we can follow alongIs there a diagram to follow?
It usually ends up on b7. Sometimes on a6. Sometimes bothWhat are we eventually going to do with the white squared bishop in this opening?
I don't know how to do that and link it. Perhaps somebody here does?can we get a bored to look at?
you are a studI'm going to try to do this without a board. So don't mind me when I make stupid suggestions.
please don't. We need you at full strength!I'm going to try to do this without a board. So don't mind me when I make stupid suggestions.

I plat the Nc3 all the time and the Bb4 is ALWAYS the response. I usually go a3 and end up trading pieces.OK, as expected Nc3. So now we're supposed to play Bb4? Or are there good alternatives?

I have a nice wood set on my desk.What is a good way to track a game like this?
Perfect, thanks!Go to https://www.chess.com/analysis-board-editorI don't know how to do that and link it. Perhaps somebody here does?can we get a bored to look at?
Click the "Paste PGN" button, and copy + paste the moves that Tim is putting in the OP (copy everything including the numbers).
Yes (usually).I plat the Nc3 all the time and the Bb4 is ALWAYS the response. I usually go a3 and end up trading pieces.OK, as expected Nc3. So now we're supposed to play Bb4? Or are there good alternatives?
Is that what is supposed to happen?
Seems pretty standard. Would be either that or g6 for me. I'm fine with either one.Any objections to Bb4 and the pin?
Yeah. His coach was the head of the club I played in in Philly. He played a ton on icc apparently but gave it up within a year I guess after losing to an 8 year old and getting frustrated.Howard Stern took up chess seriously for a while. He even has 3 rated USCF games, but I imagine it was difficult for him to play in public tournaments.

I took full credit. J/k
Got it. Would you vary your play much knowing you were playing against a group of people instead of an individual?It would be a net benefit to the group. Person #1 might see idea A, B, C / Person #2 might see idea A, B, D / Person #3 might see idea C, D, E. Being able to see all of these ideas and try refuting them in the group analysis will result a stronger move on average.For a complete chess novice, and half this stuff is like a foreign language, can group think/discussion from lesser skilled players beat a superior opponent? Does knowing he's playing against multiple people change his strategy all together? Or does he react as though it's one person making the moves and he's got a bunch of common responses to "X" move?
No, I would play the best moves possible.Got it. Would you vary your play much knowing you were playing against a group of people instead of an individual?It would be a net benefit to the group.

So this show was apparently a thing about 10 years ago. They have all of the episodes up on Youtube and it's an amazing trainwreck.

Thx, I was under the impression while it was always played, it's literally been the last 4 or 5 years to where it's gained popularity as being the number 1 move there.Qc2 (The classical variation) is the most common move and believed to be the best try for an advantage in the Nimzo. White is trying to have his cake and eat it too by acquiring the bishop pair, without the corresponding weakening of the pawn structure. White can quickly find himself behind in development and mated and is the hardest variation for White to handle.
