Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-24-02  bishop: When Black plays the almost obligatory ...c5 in queen pawn openings he usually has to consider the consequences of the response d5. In Nimzowitsch vs Samisch, 1923 Nimzovitch's note to 13.d5 is "The birth of the passed pawn".
Jul-20-07  tal lover: Nimzowitch was lucky in this endgame, against my computer he would never win this knight endgame
Jul-20-07  tal lover: Another winning idea could be 40.Ne4
Jul-30-17  Toribio3: Outside passed pawn is very hard to block!
Sep-05-17  andrea volponi: 44...Ne4!=

  kingscrusher: 41.Nd1 seems a key mistake

41.Nb5 seems to keep a winning advantage
