Muchos años han pasado desde que en 1914 Nimzowitch desarrollara e introdujera a nivel magistral la Defensa Nimzoindia.
Como uno de los padres de la corriente Hipermoderna de pensamiento ajedrecístico, Nimzowitch se dio cuenta del enorme potencial que tenía la idea del control del centro con piezas en lugar de la forma tradicional con peones. De esa manera se podía dejar la estructura flexible para posteriormente situarla como más conveniese. A pesar de las críticas de algunos de sus coetáneos como Tarrasch, Nimzowitch siguió su propio camino desarrollando ideas que hoy forman parte del arsenal habitual de los jugadores de Nimzo, nombre coloquial que le damos a la Nimzoindia, como la creación del complejo de peones doblados en c y posterior ataque a c4 o el juego de bloqueo de la estructura enemiga con d6-e5.
Hoy se puede decir que el tiempo le ha dado la razón en la corrección de sus ideas y su defensa es una de las que mejores estadísticas consigue, siendo un arma habitual de los jugadores de élite.
