The above-mentioned, the famous party Systemssona had an extraordinary course. It was in her white Nimzowitsch played for the first time has applied his revolutionary concept ' defense with excess'. When you place your pawn on e5 hired all the forces - from the captain of the Knights - the purpose of guarding the point. To maintain spent up to four pieces and resigned from castling. Swedish champion fought bravely, but too late realized that he should emulate manner of the famous rival and by all means keep an eye on his own pawn on e6.
Aron Nimzowitsch "Systemssona beat!" completed in 24 moves, an exciting duel was thoroughly examined by one of the greatest chess scholars of his time, Hans Kmoch. He praised eccentric style of play the winner of pointing out that against such a fresh, subtle and unusual ideas in the middle game play was extremely difficult for even a player of high skill and great experience.
Around this same time Nimzowitsch posted their comments to this game, moreover, did not hide his pride in the quality of the game. Despite a hefty dose of arrogance, in the words of the winner dared not argue with him. champions were too busy searching for recipes on defense with an excess of ...
Kmoch Hans, "is undoubtedly the party of the year" ... but it is possible that immediately come to the heart of the matter. Well champion Systemsson never existed!
because truth is as follows: Nimzowitsch, indeed well known with self-confidence and arrogance in the twenties strongly argued with the chess classic, Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch . The subject of controversy was the question of dragonfly center middle of the game. Tarrasch, a supporter of the center pawns occupy felt aversion to the so-called new theory. hipermodernistów , aimed not so much occupy the center, which is not exerting pressure on the figures.
And then with the help came to him (probably unknowingly) already mentioned above Kmoch. In the comfort of your home batch fabricated, which is caricatured as implemented 'weird' ideas Nimzowitscha. The result was a series of 24 'niezwykle głębokich z punktu widzenia strategii' ruchów, które, niestety, były po prostu głupie . Całość tego szalonego żartu można prześledzić tutaj:
Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson
Na plus trzeba jednak zapisać 'Nimzowi' gromki śmiech, jakim wybuchnął po skonfrontowaniu z 'dziełem' Kmocha. Później zawsze nalegał, by w zbiorach jego najlepszych partii uwzględniać ten niewinny żart.
