[@TomJones-tx7pb]

When I was at my strongest I played the Nimzowitsch defense for a year at a high level. I was surprised that it gave me the highest percentage score of any black opening I had used prior. However, in many games I had to find a non-obvious only move to avoid drifting into a lost position (Nh6 instead of Nf6, for example). In one game I refuted OTB Raymond Keene's recommended line against it. I intended to play it until I had a horrible loss, but it never happened.
