E21 Nimzo-Indian: 4.Nf3 (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 b6 5.g3 Bb7 6.Bg2 O-O 7.O-O c5)
The game below was played in a team match called Open Challenge Thunderstorm. This match was originally played between Thunderstorm and The Indian Warriors on seven boards. I played on board 1 for Thunderstorm but the team I represented changed its name to the band of cats. We were leading this match 7 - 6 before this game ended, so this game finally decided the outcome of the match. Because I played some bad moves in this game, we had to accept the draw from this match.

Based on these reference games, among very strong players this line is not playable for Black. However, I do not think that the position should be lost to Black after 7...c5. I think because White has more space and it is likely that Black loses the bishop pair at some point, White should be favored in the position, but Black should still be in the game.
