I've won a lot of games that way.

  PinnedPiece: May be one of his best games but what would it be if 7.Nxe4 instead of 7.f3?

  sleepyirv: <Nimzowitsch considered this one of his best games. Source: "La prática de mi sistema".> When did Nimzowitsch write in Spanish?
Nov-07-09  Granny O Doul: PinnedPiece: One of his shortest games after 7...f5 and ...f4.
Nov-08-09  FHBradley: <Wheb did Nimzowitsch write in Spanish?> He prepared an abridged version of "Die Praxis meines Systems" (his Spanish wasn't too good; that's why it had to be abridged) when he lived in Spain in the late 30s to fight for the Republic; he's generally believed to have died in 1935, but the fact is that his death was just one of those extravaganza of which 'Nimzo' was so fond of on and outside of the chessboard. Being an anarcho-syndicalist, he refused to enter the International Brigade and opted for the Militia of the small Trotskyan party known as POUM and best remembered for being the group that George Orwell joined in 1936. Not much is known about Nimzo's Spanish years. He prepared the translation, published it as a pamphlet, probably late -37 or early -38, after which even meticulous chess historian have had difficulties in keeping track of his moves. What little is known about his later years was told by an anonymous Danish journalist in a monthy magazine for "Jyllands Posten" in the late 60s. Some have suggested that this anonymous journalist was none other than Nimzo himself, but this is nothing more than pure speculation, though.

  TheFocus: <FHBradley> Wrong, friend. Nimzowitsch died in 1935. He didn't fake his death.

Jul-18-12  andyatchess: No surprise that he thinks it was one of his best games - what a beauty
