Play the Nimzo-Indian
The Nimzo-Indian is one of Black's most universally popular and respectable answers to 1 d4.

The list of Nimzo-Indian admirers runs like a who's who of the chess world: Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand, Anatoly Karpov, and Michael Adams are just a handful of top Grandmasters who have utilized it with great effect.
