Oct-23-06		Honza Cervenka: 16...0-0, 17...Kg7 and 18...Rh8 is quite bizzare manoeuvre. Black could achieve the same position of his pieces via 16...Kf8 and 17...Kg7 sparing thus a tempo but I guess that Nimzo's 3-move sequence was more puzzling for Vidmar. Pretty game.

Oct-24-06		Domdaniel: <Honza> Yes, apparently Nimzo and Vidmar each found one another's play hard to understand. Vidmar once wrote: "Actually I have never quite been able to understand Nimzowitsch's play, but he was similarly disposed towards mine. The consequence of this was that, on practically every occasion when we met in tournament games, we, so to say, played straight past each other, and the finishes of our games were often very odd indeed." (Ray Keene's translation of a comment in Vidmar, Goldene Schachzeiten)
