Jun-01-10 Eric Schiller    norcist: Here is to a speedy recovery Mr. Schiller!      Jan-19-10 Raymond Keene    norcist: Although posting on the Nimzowitsch page would not be a bad idea.

I have played this variation many many times as white, however, after lines like 6. 0-0 d6 7.a3 0-0 8.

His queenside initiative is microscopic and black has the ...      Apr-21-09 Reti Opening (A04)    norcist: <parisattack> <whiskeyrebel> I see you both share my admiration for Donaldson's book.
