- One of the greatest games played by Aron Nimzowitsch. The game had a shocking effect on the chess world. The World Champion Emanuel Lasker considered it the best game played in ten years, while a Danish grandmaster Bent Larsen said that this game, more than any other, influenced his development as a player. The game is notable for the astonishing queen maneuver, which completely paralyzed the opponent's position. In accordance with his famous concept of "first restrain, then blockade, then destroy" Nimzowitsch finishes the game with a brilliant attack.

WOW!!! The depth of this game is astonishing as was the commentary! Great job on this evaluation and illumination of all the calculations in such a complex game. Mind blown here.
Agree 100 % !!!
Best explanation of this famous game I have ever read.
For me , u have the best chess content on yt. Keep up the good work sir
Thank you, sir.
I was a little hesitant to watch a 27 minute chess video on just one game. But it was worth it! Nimzowitsch was in it for the long haul. The battle for the c4 pawn made me think of the saying "The threat is more powerful than its fulfillment"
I love the way you explain the game ❤
At the beginning I always wondered how it was possible that such a channel had so few subscribers, and now this channel is finally picking up!
Wonderful game! Not just Nimzowitsch's brilliance, but also Johner's resourcefulness, and, as always, Chess Wisdom's insightful and in depth commentary.
A fantastic game, one of the most instructive my modesty has ever seen. Also very well commented indeed. Thank You, Chess Wisdom. Keep on the excellent work.
Thank you.
One of the best games ever played! One can still nowadays appreciate the value of Nimzovic revolution, how deeply it influenced the strategic concepts.
hello, great video. I have a suggestion (that would make the game easier for me to follow), I hope you will consider it: you show a lot of very cool variations, and that's great, do not stop doing that. But, sometimes I get a bit lost in the variations compared to what is the actual game. I would suggest you have some kind of "variation indicator" on the screen (you have plenty of room on the right side of the screen), for example a big text somewhere that says "Variation from the move E6", and it stays on screen while we look at the variation. And then when you come back to the game you change the text to "Actual game" or something. Or maybe some kind of color code where you have the orange board for actual game and change the board color to blue for variations. I know it will be a pain to edit, and most likely, stronger players than me have no problem following, but personally that would help a lot. In any case if you do it or not, thank you.
ghey comment. this is macho chess.
"Epic Chess" has solved this problem. When showing lines not played in the game, colours on the board appear slightly lighter. Check it up; in my opinion it's a good solution. I recommend it to "Chess Wisdom", whose presenations are otherwise great indeed.
Thank you for informing me about this problem, I wasn't aware of it. I actually can't edit videos, I've never done it, but I might learn it in the future. But I will keep your suggestion in mind, and will try to make it clearer in the next videos.
No one does this, and it's unnecessary. It doesn't matter what's the "actual game," as real chess players know it's equally necessary to consider it all, regardless of what was eventually played.
Just get a little better instead of asking chess commentators to adopt to a new format that caters to your personal preference as a complete beginner.
Great idea
Excellent game & superbly explained.
some of the best chess explanations on the internet ... great stuff ... I also like that you cover lots of classic games
Thank you.
a5!!!!!! Nimzowitsch is such genius - it is understandable why he proved so influential.
Back in the day when people played 3 moves ahead. these days its all theory and people play 3 games ahead...
you are a real chess G. This is absolutely awesme
Fantastic! I will have to replay it many times to even begin to grasp the the of his thinking. I would put Nimzowitsch sharing second and third place with Lasker, after Fischer. Thank you for the excellent presentation! 🙏
My pleasure!
I would love to travel back in time and bring with with me Nimz, Phillz, Morphz, Steinz, Laskz and Retiz to play against current crop of worlds top 10 players in a Dubai Masters.
Love your interpretation bro…..love no adds. Great channel man
Thank you man.:)
very resourcefull in ur explaination and to the point i learn a lot about the Question Why this move THXVM! pls keep it going
Excellent presentation. Thanks
My pleasure.
great fighter this nimzowitsch!!
Seconding another comment on making it very obvious when you are showing a variation vs. the actual game. Either like an icon, or turn the border frame around the board a different color (gray?) when showing variations. Otherwise, great video!
Why would your plan be, ‘expose your own king?
Hello 👋 brother can you make video on Emory Tate games and please put images and name front of game it confuse
White should have resigned when the queen started her march
Very crafty.
(21:10) Qb3 - severely limiting the reach of his queen. Wouldn't Qe2 have been better?
I think White didn't want the black bishop to X-ray his queen on e2. For example, after Qe2 and Ba6, Black might think about Nxd5 as the c4 pawn would be pinned.
Nimzowitsch is *TOO* careful and methodical, some would even say *"SLOW"...*
If it were Tal playing, he would have finished the game by move 25.... *....AT THE LATEST !!! :P*
.
At 11:11 why is rh8 such a big threat white can play f5 next move right?
The problem is White cannot prevent the opening of the h file, after which his king will be in trouble. If White plays f5 after Kg7, the following variation is possible: 17... hxg4 18.hxg4 - Rh8+ 19.Kg2 - gxf5 20.gxf5 - Qxf5 and Black is up a pawn, while the white king isn't safe.
poyo
What an incredible game by Nimzovitch. Nowadays he would be accused of cheating; enough accusations and the poor sportsmanship.
Only by Kramnik.
@@ClarkPotter and Carlsen, he started it and very poor sportsmanship
27:02 Why is the King forced to e2? Why can't white play Rg1?
Yes, you're right, Rg1 is also possible. In this case the black queen will move to f3 with a check and after the white king moves to e1 the black rook captures on e3 and Black wins.

To much talking.. 😢😢😢
Tooo feeew ooooooos!
@materesasantiago1858 The explanation is necessary and to the point. I benefited from listening to the talking. Perhaps you have a better understanding to share with the world?
