Jul-13-19  whiteshark: <Nimzowitsch> won this tournament with 6.5/8 points ahead of sole second place <Lundin> with 6/8 points.

And Lundin clearly didn't take his chance at one point:

6.0 minute analysis by Stockfish 9 v010218

Jul-14-19  actinia: 41. ... Kg7?! or even ? is hard to understand. engine recommends 41. ... h5, to prevent g4, and black keeps an advantage. even up to move 45, h5 would keep a black advantage.

Kg7 is unusual to me because it loses a tempo simply to put the king on an arguably worse square

Jul-14-19  kontrippo: That is a very interesting game by the great Nimzowitsch. If you want, you can watch my version of the game with a classical music at the back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjU...

  Breunor: Computer has the losing move as 47 fxg5. After fxg5:

1) +7.43 (26 ply) 48.Qg3 Bxb5 49.Qxg5+ Kh8 50.axb5 Qa8 51.Rg1 Rf8 52.c6 h6 53.cxb7 hxg5 54.bxa8=R Rxa8 55.Rxg5 Kh7 56.b6 Rc8 57.b7 Rb8 58.Ba6 a4 59.Rg3 d3 60.Rxd3 a3 61.Rxa3 Kg7 62.Ra5 Kh6 63.Rxe5 Kg5 64.Kg3

Instead black stays in the game with Kh8:
1) +0.82 (23 ply) 47...Kh8 48.h4 Rd7 49.Rg1 Qc8 50.Nd6 Qc7 51.Qc4 Bxa4 52.gxf6 Bb3 53.Qc1 Rg8 54.f7 Bxf7 55.Nxf7+ Rxf7 56.Rxg8+ Kxg8 57.Bc4 a4 58.Bxf7+ Kxf7 59.c6 Qe7 60.Kg3 Qc7 61.Qh6 Ke8 62.Qf6 d3 63.Qh8+ Ke7 64.Qxh7+ Kd8
