The ABC of the Bogo-Indian Defense

Bogo-Indian is an attractive system for players of all levels. It offers a solid foundation from which the player who moves second can confidently approach the middle game. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+, Black develops quickly, prepares to castling and maintains maximum flexibility of his central pawns. You don't need to know extensive theory in this natural opening, and that is exactly what makes Bogo-Indian particularly attractive for non-professionals. On his DVD "The ABC of the Bogo-Indian Defense", Andrew Martin shows that this opening is best understood based on the pawn structure. He presents the various constellations that can arise after 4.Bd2, 4.Nbd2 or 4.Nc3, and provides repertoire suggestions against each of these continuations. In a good 5 hours of video game time, Martin uses master games to demonstrate how this opening works in detail. After that, you will be well equipped to successfully use Bogo-Indian in your own games! Video time: 4 hours 40 minutes (English)
