Hammer's Nimzo Making Waves in June

I hope everyone is having a great summer! I started mine releasing "Hammer's Nimzo-Indian", an opening course on the Chessable platform and an endeavor three years in the making. Naturally I've spent quite a lot of time looking through the databases to see if any top players adopt my recommendations -- the highest praise an opening course can receive.

The Nimzo is one of the best openings in the world, prioritizing quick development and central control. It's available for purchase on the Chessable platform. If you're just interested in a free peek, you can get that too.

Here's the top 3 Hammer's Nimzo games from June:

We kick off with a nice little opening trap, giving the Black player a very easy win.

The next one sees an underdog win a pawn very early on, and had he given that pawn back under brilliant circumstances, he may have scored a big win against a grandmaster.

The final game sees one of the best French grandmasters use the Hammer repertoire to devastating effect, scoring a quick win with black against another grandmaster.

Still wondering if the Hammer's Nimzo opening course is for you? Let me convince you by detailing my approach and sharing some of my discoveries in this video.
