For the aggressive Nimzo-Indian player who won’t settle for dull equality…Rip The Anti-Nimzo, Catalan, London And
Other 1.d4 “Cop Outs” To Shreds!
If you love the energetic play of the Nimzo-Indian — but
hate how the opponent can:
👎🏼 Easily “cop out” by developing their knight to f3 instead of c3…
👎🏼 Blitz out a system without thinking and enjoy a “free pass” to a solid middlegame…
👎🏼 Or finesse you into passive defense, while your pieces sit on awkward squares…
Then we've got just the fix for you. It’s
The Fierce Vienna, Catalan, & Sidelines by
Woman FIDE Master Maaike Keetman.
This repertoire is the much-anticipated sequel to
The Fierce Nimzo-Indian. And it meets the Anti-Nimzo and other 1.d4 sidelines with the same ferocity Keetman displayed in part one.
For The Creative Attacker
From a solid foundation — developed pieces, no weaknesses, safe king — she has provided many attacking ideas. This is for the creative attacker.

So whatever the follow-up after 1.d4 — the modern 3.Nf3, Catalan, Trompowsky, London System, or something in between — you can always count on…
A Full-Blooded Game With
Excellent Chances
To Outplay White
Let’s walk you through the initial moves:
You’ll start with the standard Nimzo-Indian move-order,
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6. After the spoilsport
3.Nf3, you’ll claim your share of the center with
3…d5. Then you’ll follow up with
4.Nc3 dxc4, triggering a crisis before White secures their space advantage.
The starting position of the
Vienna versus the Anti-Nimzo
The game hasn’t reached move 5 yet, but the first player is already facing tough questions.
Should they grab more space in the center, but allow you to
dominate the queenside with your extra pawn? Or should they try to recapture on c4, and
get smacked around by your rapidly developing pieces?
Either way, you’ll have an active position rich in tactics and attacking ideas!
In 13 moves, Black has gained a -1.13 advantage
and the makings of a decisive attack!
The Vienna variation has been a mainstay in the repertoires of
Vishy Anand (5-time World Champion),
Levon Aronian (2-time FIDE World Cup winner), and
Fabiano Caruana (2018 World Championship challenger).
So rest assured this opening can stand up to the toughest competition.
Against other 1.d4 openings,
The Fierce Vienna, Catalan, & Sidelines will show you how to call White’s entire setup into question… by undermining their key piece.
For example:
🐯 You’ll deny the risk-free advantage of the Catalan by removing their g2-bishop by force.
🐯 Against the London System, you’ll punish the exposed f4-bishop. Then hit the squares it left behind with a timely “queen to b6.”
🐯 You’ll paralyze the c3-knight to rule out the Jobava London’s Nb5 tricks. All while taking firm control of the e4-square, and setting up a favorable queenside pawn majority.
🐯 You’ll attack the Trompowsky from multiple angles… using the bishop pair and extra open files White gave you before move 10.
🐯 And against the Colle-Zukertort, you’ll take a bigger bite out of the center, and mirror the active enemy bishops. So that any explosion in the position works to your advantage.
Everything’s served to you with the same stellar instruction, which scored
an average rating of 4.88 stars from satisfied students.
