The latest issue of TWIC is now available
Aczel-Csonka,B
Nimzo-Indian 4.e3
68th ch-HUN Prelim 2019 Rd1.2
After 52..Nb4+(Diagram)
White has an extra pawn and a clear path to the b6-pawn
Evaluate 53.Kc4, sacrificing the bishop to get at the b-pawn. Knights have well known problems against RPs.
What do you recommend for White?
