Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 0–0 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Qxc3 Qe8 Trends
From TWIC 951
6…Qe8 ducks main theory. Navara starts a massage but achieves nothing special. Eventually black loses thread of the game and allows some pressure.
Navara,D (2710) – Harika,D (2514)
4.Qc2 0–0 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Qxc3 Qe8 [E32]
11th Gibraltar Masters Caleta ENG (4.10), 25.01.2013
Position 1
The position looks roughly balanced. What do you suggest for white now?

Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 d5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.Qxc3 Ne4 Trends 2013
From TWIC 949
5.a3 is the best way for white to try for an advantage according to Vigorito in Challenging the Nimzo-Indian(Quality Chess 2007) but white ran into a brick wall in this game. After some enterprising play the Q+P could not outplay the RNN.
Kotanjian,T (2518) – Pashikian,A (2607)

73rd ch-ARM 2013 Yerevan ARM (1.1), 12.01.2013
Position 1
It has taken some doing but now the RNN are well coordinated against the queen. How should black continue?

Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 c5 5.dxc5 Qc7 Trends 2013
From TWIC 950
The 4…c5 line is now very popular. White achieved nothing against black’s solid formation and needed some cooperation before turning the game around with a kingside attack.
Bocharov,D (2614) – Tunik,G (2437)
4.Qc2 c5 5.dxc5 Qc7 6.Nf3 Bxc5 7.g3 [E38]
Dvorkovich Mem 2013 Taganrog RUS (3.9), 17.01.2013
Position 1
The attack is well underway on the kingside. How should white continue now?

From TWIC 951
So obtained a nice pawn center and the bishop pair for a model queenless squeeze.

Asian Zone 3.3 Tagaytay City PHI (5.1), 25.01.2013
Position 1
Things are going very well for white after 20…Rac8. The bishop pair is ready for action and the pawn center prevents black’s pieces from being effective. How should white proceed now?

From TWIC 952
Black’s hedgehog style waiting game quickly induced white to weaken the kingside after which a kingside attack decided the game.
Roselli Mailhe,B (2449) – Bruzon Batista,L (2701)
4.Qc2 c5 5.dxc5 Bxc5 6.Nf3 Qb6 7.e3 Be7 [E38]

Black has the kingside under siege but white seems to be holding on for now. How should black continue?
