Réti – Nimzowitsch, Marienbad 1925

Réti plays in hypermodern style. Nimzowitsch first lures the white queen away and then builds a strong position in the middle of the board. In the endgame his king shows what it can do.

Where the moves come from

From 44. Rxe4 on, the moves come only from a continuation in the web source, not reliably from the printed text.

From here the game collection of pgnmentor.com continues differently: here 50. Na5, there 50. Nc5. Later moves are not compared.

Sources

The quotations from Nimzowitsch on this page are our own translations.

Arrow keys move the focus across the squares. Enter or Space selects a piece and moves it to a highlighted square. Escape cancels the selection.
