Kibitzer's Corner
May-14-05  ArturoRivera: much better i think was 4.-cxd4, after that black should have an easy time
Jul-28-06  Gouki: why doesnt white play, 32.Nxd4 Qxe5? since he will have a knight for two whole pawns?
Jul-28-06  Reggie T: Hi Gouki. Because of 32...Qe1+ 33. Kh2 Qxe5+ win the knight with 2 more pawns for black :)
Jul-28-06  Gouki: oh, I didnt see that variation. thanks reggie.
Jul-28-06  LivBlockade: I wonder if Nimzo missed ...Nxd4 when he played 31. Qc2? It looks like White would have been better off playing 31. Rc7. Fortunately for White, his position is strong enough to overcome the temporary loss of the pawn, as Black has no time to defend the Queenside pawns (if 34...Rb8 instead of 34...b5, White wins his pawn back and maintains a positional advantage after 35. Ng5).
Nov-19-07  zealouspawn: its possible he didn't miss it--he got the pawn back and in strong position afterwards.
Jul-04-10  igiene: Why 13...h5?.
it seems to me a unnecessary weakeing move
Jul-04-10  igiene: 13..h5 is bad. Black is fine after both 13..00 and 14..f6 or 13..a6 and ..14Qb6
