  Honza Cervenka: 24....Rdg8 looks like a joke. Was black thinking that he can get a counter-attack on the Kingside? Ten moves later the position was quite picturesque: white Bishops and Rooks are centralised and prepared to kill black King while all black pieces are completely out of play. After move 35 black could resign.
Jun-26-06  euripides: A very nice black-square piece blockade by Zukertort, decades before you-know-who. Perhaps Black should forestall it by 23...Rxd4.
Jun-26-06  RookFile: Nimzovich was a great marketer - he knew how to write books and make a few dollars. Good for him.

But as far as Nimzovich inventing a lot of ideas attributed to him, that's simply nonsense.

I'm surprised he didn't sue Paulsen for playing the 'Nimzovich' defense 17 years before he was even born.

Jun-26-06  RookFile: For example, Alekhine had at least as much to do with the development of the 'Nimzo-Indian' - and certainly Alekhine's results in playing this defense were at least as good as Nimzo's.
