{This move would only be sound if Black were in a position to
enforce d5, or at least dxe5, for he would then gain the
excellent blockade square c5, e.g., 9 dxe5? Ng4; etc.} 9. O-O
exd4 {And as soon as started the blockading manoeuver is
already demolished. Theoretically and strategically the only
course was 9...Re8 and if 10 Nbd2 then ...c6 and according to
circumstances ...Qc7 or ...e4 and ...d5 establishing a chain
of pawns.} 10. exd4 Re8 11. Nbd2 {It is not easy for White to
take advantage of his superior pawn position. This move takes
too little account of Black's advance ...d5 and with 11 Nc3 he
would have drawn considerably nearer to his goal.} Nf8 12. Re1
Ne6 13. g3 h6 14. Bf1 Ng5 15. Nxg5 hxg5 16. Bg2 {With the

White's forces would give winning chances. As it is Black can
equalise approximately.} d5 17. Rxe8+ {The only chance to
maintain the fleeting advantage lay in 17 c5. With this move
White would have obtained a clearly superior position at least
on the Q side; it is, however, very doubtful whether anything
could be made of the position : 17...Bf5 18 Qa4 b6, etc. It
seems that move 11 Nd2 which must be deprecated from the point
of view of centralised development, can no longer be

has in mind the manoeuvre Nh1-f2-h3-g5, in conjunction with
Qh5, as a method of assaulting the position of Black's
king. When I first read My System I was so impressed by this
game that I deliberately created situations in my next few
games where the move Ng3-h1 was possible, in the belief that
this mystical retreat would somehow result in a miraculous
increase of energy in my position, irrespective of whatever
else may have been happening on the board at the time.}

1. c4 {Notes by Nimzowitsch In this game Black does not

succeed in getting the adverse double complex to advance
(White stays "put") and therefore the symptons of the malady
are not clearly distinguishable. there is compensation,
however, in the observation of atypical secondary sympton, the
helplessness of the White pieces. These pieces would, in the
ordinary way, be quite ready to attack, but the enthusiasm for
an attack is damped by the consciousness that the cO-Operation
of the "pawn-party" cannot altogether be depended upon. As the
incriminated body of pawns is unreliable also in a defensive
sense, (for there always is a danger of its being rolled up by
...c6 and ...d5) the undecided attitude of the pieces (10 Qc2
11 Qd2) is sufficiently explained. And so the hidden weakness
of the pawns is projected to a plane where it is clearly
noticeable by the learner, and the study of the game is made
highly valuable.} e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. e4 Bb4 5. d3 d6
6. g3 Bg4 7. Be2 {This is not as inconsistent as it may
appear, for g3 was primarily intended to cover a knight move
to h4 and on the other hand Bg2 would permit ...Nd4.} h6
8. Be3 Bxc3+ 9. bxc3 Qd7 10. Qc2 {White realizes that the
mobility of his center pawns is small as d4 and still more so
d5, would paralyse him on account of the weakness of
c5. Therefore he seeks to adapt the movement of his pieces to
his modest circumstances in space. In this sense he could also
have played 10 Nd2 (to effect a strategic retreat with f3)
e.g., 10 Nd2 Bxe2 11 Qxe2 Ng4 12 f3 Nxe3 13 Qxe3 O-O 14 O-O
with an approximately even position. But 10 Qd2 must be looked
upon as a misuse of the modest space available, for that
square should remain open and the queen, in any event, would
be better placed at c2 with an eye on a4 and the eventual
threat of ...d5 in view. After 10 Qd2 we recommend 10...Na5 11
Qc2 O-O followed by ...Rfe8, ...c6, and ...d5, and Black has
the better position.} O-O {Here too we should prefer ...Na5
(d4? ...Nxc4)} 11. Qd2 {Now in order as Black's castled
positionis in jeopardy.} Nh7 {In order to play ...f5, but this
proves impractical, and the only result is a decentralised
knight on h7.}12. h3 {Nh4 would also have been sufficient.}
Bxh3 {This loses a piece. black had only reckoned with 13 Bxh6
which by the way would also have been strong, e.g., 13 Bxh6
Bg2 14 Rh2 Bxf3 15 Bxf3 gxh6 16 Qxh6 f6 17 Bg4.} 13. Ng1 Bg4
