Grandmaster Varuzhan Akobian teaches the kids a good defense against 1. d4, the Nimzo-Indian. Three branches are explored: the Classical Variation, the Rubinstein System, and the Kmoch Variation.

What is the continuation if Queen doesn't take on c4?and plays e3?

Akobian clearly doesn't know his chess history, everyone knows the Nimzo-Indian is named after Mr. Indian
