I'm really pleased to see another lucid and informed post from you!

<WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!! STUANTON DIDNT PLAY NIMZOVICH'S INVENTION!>

He clearly did. But if this is enough to make you jam your caps lock key down, you'll probably go beserk when you read Blackburne's notes to

Englisch vs Blackburne, 1883

Jan-06-05  fred lennox: 19.Kh1 black threatens...Qg5 and...Nxh3. Marvelous counterattack by black. His queenside pawns "get out of the way" so the pieces can control the light squares. After 18...Nf4 the domination of white sqrs. is overwhelming. Nothing comes from 37.e7 for 37...Rcc2 makes mate unavoidable. 37.exf7 however, gives an underpromotion theme, if 37...Rcc2 then 38.f8(knight)+ white wins! 38...Kg8(forced) 39.Rxg6+...Kxf8 40.Qe7#.
Apr-30-11  BabalooMoon: Instead of 19.Kh1 white could have tried 19.Ng4 Qg5 20.Kh2 or 19.Bc4 Qg5 20.Kh1
