One of the greatest games played by Aron Nimzowitsch. The game had a shocking effect on the chess world. The World Champion Emanuel Lasker considered it the best game played in ten years, while a Danish grandmaster Bent Larsen said that this game, more than any other, influenced his development as a player. The game is notable for the astonishing queen maneuver, which completely paralyzed the opponent's position. In accordance with his famous concept of "first restrain, then blockade, then destroy" Nimzowitsch finishes the game with a brilliant attack.
