A revolutionary game that Aron Nimzowitsch considered one of his most instructive. According to Fred Reinfeld, this game represents one of the most dramatic moments in chess history, as Nimzowitsch completely revolutionized the concept of controlling the center. Traditionally, it was believed that the side with pawns in the central squares controlled this crucial area of the board. In this game, however, Nimzowitsch challenges this conventional wisdom by surrendering his pawn center, while still exerting tremendous pressure on the center with his pieces, completely paralyzing his opponent’s entire army.
