Overprotection in chess is the strategy of protecting a pawn or specific square of the chessboard more than is immediately apparent. This serves to dissuade the opponent from attacking that specific point. This can cause an opponent to pursue a faulty plan or no plan at all.
Aron Nimzowitsch was one of the foremost proponents of overprotection.
