| Mar-04-02 | | bishop: It was not the best policy for white to let his pawns be doubled on the kingside as an attack on the open g-file was not to be. |

 | | Moondoll: Nimzo is hilarious!
"That pompous White c-pawn, has passed away, unwept, unhonoured, and unsung."
If you read more of his annotations, he is full of witty quips such as these. Backed by his unquestionable natural talent, I find his notes give a unique look at the battle that is Chess. |

| | euripides: This game feels as arrestingly modern as Nimzo's famous win against Salwe at the same tournament. It's really not a Caro-Kann but an Old Indian played very dynamically, rather like Bronstein's games in the King's Indian. |

| | Chachaman: That was a great game by Nimzowitsch. He took advantage of Alapin's errors, namely advancing his pawn center too far, and made Alapin pay the price. |

| Feb-12-09 | | Oregon104: <I meant 22.Be3 Qa5 23.Bg1> I agree. I assume that they translated this from descriptive notation, it said "23. B-N1", and the translator was careless... |

 | | xombie: On seeing games like these, one can see how future players like Tigran Petrosian may have been affected. I find Nimzo's games much more transparent than Petrosian's, but we can see the commonalities. Nimzo's understanding must have been superlative. I could never tell from two little moves that they are the key to the combination, not of dessimating the king or anything, but just ensuring that he has the center. |
