  An Englishman: Good Evening: We don’t often see 2...Nf6 at this level. Bit of a shame given the sort of chess that might result.

  perfidious: While I am not by any means au courant with all this, the play herein looks to be very much a sideline, whereas Nimzo's main line has some long strings of theory, so far as I recall. Believe there was a Spassky-Ciric game from 1962 or so featuring some sparkling tactics from the hand of the future world titleholder.
Jun-15-18  siggemannen: What happens after something like: 8.Ne5?
Jun-15-18  WorstPlayerEver: 8. Ne5 g6

  HeMateMe: quite an endgame from Mammy, giving up the piece for the pawns. A lot of calculating for a rapids game.
