| Apr-16-08 | | YoungEd: The star move, I think, is 13. Ba3. I never would have thought of it, though once you see the queen on the long diagonal, you know something good will happen for white! |

| Dec-18-09 | | zanshin: White to play, move 16 - it seems Spielman's sac is sound:

 | | tpstar: <altai> Welcome to the site. =) The primary threat is 20. Bd3+ Kh6 21. Bc1#. 19 ... Nxh5 doesn't work due to 20. Bxh5+ Kh6 21. Bc1#, and the Ng8 can't help defend (20 ... Ne7/Nh6) due to 20. Qxf6#. Off day for Nimzowitsch. Curious how the Sacrifice Explorer classifies 13. Ba3 as a Rook sacrifice when it's really an exchange sacrifice. |

 | | Open Defence: White has a mating attack,
e.g.
if 19...Kh6 then 20.Bc1+ Kg6 21.Qg5#
the longest Black can avoid mate is trying to give up his Queen but White need not take it immediately and still has a mating attack in the line: 19...Qd7 20.Bd3+ Bf5 21.g4 Rfe8 22.Bxf5+ Qxf5 23.Qxf5+ Kh6 24.Rxf6+ Nxf6 25.Qxf6# |

| Feb-01-12 | | RookFile: Games like this teach you that there are many positions where you don't want that dark squared bishop to take on a1, even if it is a rook. LONG before files matter in this game, diagonals were critically important. |

 | | gezafan: You simply cannot play this way against Spielman! |
|
| Jul-30-16 | | erimiro1: Your system? My system! |
|
| Nov-25-16 | | Octavia: in 1905 Nimzowitsch withdrew from chess for a year to study it! |

 | | FSR: The sample size is small, but Opening Explorer shows that Black scores horribly with 5...e5, and very well with 5...h5 and 5...g6. |

 | | OhioChessFan: I can't decide if the pun is good or bad, but it's really amusing either way. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: A brilliant pun that describes a brilliant game. You cannot ask more of a Game of the Day title than this. Perhaps CG could have saved this for the holiday season. |

| Aug-14-20 | | castlemindng: a wonderful piece of game. I don't know who would love it. i actually took time to make a nice video with this beautiful game https://youtu.be/xfOUEkneukg |

| Aug-14-20 | | jith1207: Brilliant. Both the game and the pun.
<RookFile>: Xmas is here. |

| | keypusher: Here's a little bit about this match, which I had never heard of. Game Collection: Nimzowitsch - Spielmann 1st Match (Munich 1905) |

 | | offramp: Aron Nimzowitsch was about 26. Spielmann was only 23!
Nimzo got pwned. That is the only word for it. |
|
| Aug-14-20 | | goodevans: <LivBlockade> Well, thanks to you I've had that annoying little tune as an earworm for about 8 hours now. Every time I try to get rid of it it finds its way back just a few minutes later. Thank you so much. |

| | offramp: <goodevans: <LivBlockade> Well, thanks to you I've had that annoying little tune as an earworm for about 8 hours now...> The earworm I get is a parody version called "Dirty Jingle Bells", which is so calamitously naughty that I can't say any more about it. |
|
| Aug-14-20 | | newzild: Lots of people calling this a pun.
It's not a pun. |
|
| Aug-15-20 | | JimNorCal: A ... palindrome? |

 | | WTHarvey: The Romantic vs. the Hypermodernist
Spielmann charged in with fury and fire,
While Nimzo built walls ever higher.
“Romance is for fools!”
said the man with his rules—
“But beauty,” said Rudolf, “won’t tire!” |
