Bogo-Indian Defense
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+
Many strong positional players appreciate the importance of the system's strategic themes - solid and positionally sound. There's really no need to memorize the long move sequences of alternative sharp defenses. These two main reasons appealed to them greatly!
Considered to be the little brother of the Queen's Indian (3...b6), with many identical strategic themes and possible transpositions. It is also conceptually related to the Nimzo-Indian (3.Nc3 Bb4), as the strategic ideas of
black in Nimzo and Bogo are pretty similar.
Recommendation: The game A.Khalifman - M.Adams, Groningen 1990 is a classic illustration of the solidity and thematic queenside plan for Black. An instructive game that a Bogo-indian fan should not miss studying.
