Train it in TheoriaAbout the Nyezhmetdinov Attack
The Nyezhmetdinov Attack arises from the Neo-Modern Variation after 9. f4 Be7 10. Nf3 b5, when White answers the queenside expansion with 11. Bxf6, giving up the dark-squared bishop for the knight on f6. Black has to recapture, and that choice decides the pawn structure in front of a king that has not yet castled. White has castled queenside and Black's pawns are already advancing there, so the play is sharp and forcing.
