| Sep-26-05 | | Ryeb: What about his effort against Johner at Dresden 1926; in his own words "one of the best blockading games that i have ever played" |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | Averageguy: <posoo> Glad to hear it. :) |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | ConfusedPatzer: I wonder if he really didn't take the exchange on purpose |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | gambiter: This is probably my favorite Nimzo game. The combo at the end is cool and the position of the black queen at the end is hilarious. This game was in his book My System fully annotated. |

 | | chessgames.com: <keypusher> We cleaned up the PGN a little bit so that it works in ChessTutor. We had forgotten how sensitive that viewer is with respect to embedded notes. |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | ajile: Great game but Black plays into White's plan with 5..f5. Black has no real counterplay after this move. I'm guessing most modern masters would hold back and play f6 at an opportune moment. |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | JoeWms: If you don't happen to know kibitzer <Ray Keene>'s word "adumbrated," you don't have to look it up -- just accept my explanation that adumbrated player is a patzer. (A silly sally, no doubt. My ulterior motive is to bookmark this game of pure delight, with its attendant kibitzes, to my Chessgames kibitz archives. A collection does not include kibitzes. Is there another way to accomplish my purpose?) |

 | | tpstar: <JoeWms> Fear not, all ye who dost travail, for I speak British (or at least can help translate ;>D). "Adumbrated" is an antiquated word which could represent opposite meanings, depending on the context = vaguely foreshadow (intimate/insinuate) or else partially disclose (obscure/overshadow). I believe he meant "expounded" or "developed" or even "favored" here (and not "a" "dumb" "rated" player you silly). Surely you realize that besides earning norms, these British GMs must demonstrate highly advanced linguistic command, to the point of becoming ostentatious, sententious, grandiloquent and vainglorious yet not quite obstreperous - for more, look under Nigel Short You could create a Game Collection called "Cool Words" then have that word in the caption for that game - see the examples below. |
|
| Sep-26-05 | | JoeWms: <tpstar> Your sober define of Keene's word "adumbrate" almost caused my pacemaker to buzz off. Omigosh, did my pun fall on tin ears? Horrors! It is the worst thing that could happen to a paronomastic. I got back to my usual 60 beats when you indicated you did get the pun. Whew! Good sir, I had no special chessic wisdom to offer on the site, so I offered the only thing I had to trade: a smart assertive pun. All I wanted was to bookmark the game and its kibitzes. A legitimate purpose. Honest! |
|
| Sep-27-05 | | JoeWms: Collection correction: Kibitzes do, in fact, accompany a game bookmarked to a collection. I am slow and clumsy but I get there eventually, later than sooner. |
|
| Oct-24-05 | | you vs yourself: The game was already lost, but 24...Be7? Only in the end did I realize what Nimzowitsch meant when he said his queen was well placed at g4. A very beautiful finish! |
|
| Nov-30-05 | | gambiter: I wonder if chessgames.com thought about using "lady's room" for the pun. |
|
| Jan-13-06 | | schnarre: Maybe someone could call this game "Hacking Hakansson". |
|
| Jan-21-06 | | Cogano: I must be missing something. Why is it called Women's Prison? I understand the
prison part, but where does the women's part come from? Thanks. Cheers! |

 | | keypusher: <Coquano> the queen gets locked up on a8. |
|
| Jan-21-06 | | jackmandoo: I think a better title would have been, "The Queen getting stuck in the back corner because the pawn won't let it out and also it has a knight next to it so if the queen does what to get out the knight will have to move first" |
|
| Jan-25-06 | | Cogano: If anyone is interested, you might also want to check out Susan Polgar's game
"Kiss of Death", which she actually played when she was just 11 years old!!
Take care all and have a great day. Cheers! |
|
| Jan-25-06 | | Elrathia Kingi: Is it significant that black never moved beyond the 4th rank? |
|
| Jan-29-06 | | Cogano: Hi <Elrathia Kingi>. I hope you're doing well. As for your question, I think it does. I feel that despite cap
turing White's d4 pawn, Black just defended. The great Nimzo-witsch never gave him an opportunity to do anything else. Had he penetrated the 4th rank, as you suggest, it would've been a most
different game of attack and counter-attack! Thanks for pointing that out. We can't under-estimate or undermine its significance. Take very good care and have a great day. Cheers! |
|
| Feb-15-06 | | schnarre: <jackmandoo> That's a tongue-twister of a title! |
|
| Feb-26-06 | | DeepBlade: This is a picture perfect game how overprotection and pawn outposts cramp Blacks play. |
|
| Mar-01-06 | | Monoceros: Oh dear. Could this be the very game that inspired the Hans Kmoch parody, the "Immortal Overprotection Game" (Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927)? That, too, is a French "Advance" Defence in which White brilliantly sacrifices a pawn and overprotects the e5 square, with Nimzovich confidently expounding on his genius almost every move. |
|
| Aug-15-06 | | Chess Lou Zer: Neat puzzle near the end of this game. |
|
| Aug-15-06 | | madlydeeply: I didn't realize that Nimzovich was such a comedian. His notes are full of one-liners |
|
| Oct-07-06 | | Sibahi: wonderful .. |
