Addendum to the theory Nimzowitscha

" Zoltan Arpod Ulf Min Systemsson IV was born on February 29, 1900 in Dublin. We learned to speak, his family moved to Sweden, so that became his Swedish mother tongue. At the age of six he learned to play chess, quickly revealing the outstanding talent. Soon he began to win many tournaments and has become one of the leading players in his country (...) played his most famous party in 1927, against unmatched Aron Nimzowitschowi . Despite the defeat he played more tournaments in Sweden until 1956, (...) In 1979, he died to deliver blood to the brain. "

Only an extract from the biography page www.chessgames.com

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.

Get Copd From Vaporizor

in Dortmund sypnęło

Nie jestem pewien, czy na taki turniej jak ten chce się komukolwiek przyjeżdżać - Beyond the well-receipted arcymistrzami course. I do not know who wants to sponsor such events - and the money is substantial. But the Dortmund tournament continues and the six riders to blood last fighting for victory, prestige and money. Result: 16 of 21 draws and played a lot. Eleven times a ceasefire was signed before the 1930 move. Indeed 'battle' chess.

berserker honorable title of the tournament, as usual, holds Kramnik Volodya. His thirst for victory, tactical ability and indomitable bravery enriched the story of another ties: two 19-posunięciowe, a 24 - and a 25-posunięciowy. power in him is strong. Right behind him, however, as the shadows follow Peter Leko and Etienne Bacrot with an equally impressive number of six only slightly more, duels of completed peacefully.

You guessed it: it was a tie.

In such circumstances, the most pleasant nature is watching the game closing table Arkady Najdycza . Nothing that the party lost three: if not its share, no previous startup does not exceed the the border of decency, or 50 moves! This time course for double-edged versions did not work, but without it we would have probably two parties resultative in seven rounds and five players shared the lead.

errant Arkady Najdycz.

luck in the misfortune morale is not burned out yet Magnus Carls. He won what it should, that is, two tough ends from Najdyczem and Jakowienką, in other duels flung as we could . But even he has so far provided little fun fans.

Summa summarum in Dortmund, nothing has changed: lobby holding a draw power. Its permanent members, that is, Kramnik and Leko willingly joined Bacrot absolutely colorless, and even showed excessive Jakowienko not feel like proving that the highest ranked Russian chess player. In a word: boredom.

They could break up this monopoly Iwańczuk, Szyrow, Kamsky ... But they probably know that head does not penetrate the wall .
