15. Bc2 Qe7 16. d5 {White had done better to mark time also;
the text move would have a meaning only if it were introducing
an attack against the Q side, (c4, and b4). But he intends to
operate on the K wing, and for this d5, is a bad preparation.}
Bd7 17. Kh2 Nh8 {A preventive move directed against White's
plan of Ng1, and f4.} 18. Ng1 g5 19. g3 Ng6 20. Qd1 Bg7
21. Qf3 a5 {Again preventive play. This time the possibility
of c4, and b4, is to be anticipated.} 22. Ne2 Bb5 23. a4 Bd7
{It is achieved; the White Q side has lost all momentum and
the action just mentioned, to be initiated by c4, and b4, is a
thing of the past.} 24. Rh1 {With this move White plans to
break through eventually with h4, e.g. : 24...b6 25 h4 gxh4 26
gxh4 Nxh4 27 Qh5 f5 28 Kg1, etc. But Black discovers a move,
which not only has a high preventive value, but which also has
the attribute of driving the opponent into quick action.} Qe8
{! The threat is ...Qc8; e.g. ...Qc8, h4 ...Bg4, winning a
knight. White, therefore, has no further time for preparations
and opens the battle for a breakthrough.} 25. h4 Qc8
{Threatening ...Bg4.} 26. Bd3 Bg4 27. Qg2 gxh4 28. f3 h3
29. Qf1 {The breakthrough looks like it is succeeding, for if
now ...Bd7, then g4 followed by Qxh3 with a winning attack.}
f5 {The counter-stroke, long since prepared, which decides the
battle for Black.} 30. fxg4 fxe4 31. Qxh3 exd3 {Only now can
the full effect of 28...h3 be discerned. By this move the
white queen was forced from g2 to f1 into the range of the
Black rook.} 32. Bxh6 Rh8 {This game is noteworthy on account
of the comprehensive prophylaxis employed; preventive measures
were taken against c4 and b4 as well as against f4 and later
on h4. A few words about the charachteristics of the
preventive moves selected ; the waiting policy by 10...h6 is
typical of this style of play, for waiting moves form the
beginning of all prophylactic manouvers. The fact that the
preventive move 24 ...Qe8 contains a threat at the same time
by no means detracts from its purity in a prophylaxis, in
which part of the plan is to drive the opponent to acceerated
action.} 0-1

that it could paralyse the elastic and strong Black center

as a latent threat, as ghosts, in this game, which is as

now would be bad, for example: 14.e5 dxc4 15.Bxc4 15.Bxc4 Nd5,

{Very strong at this point, and Black has to find the finest
counter-play even only to hold the balance. And yet, from the
point of view of strategy and theory, there can only be one
interpretation to this move: it is a confession that all this
talk about the dynamic strength which is alleged to be vested
in the isolated pawn is -- just talk. No, the sombre reality
discloses a different picture; the player with the isolated
pawn must be satisfied if he succeeds in concealing its
weakness.} Qxd5 13.Qxd5 exd5 14.Be3 a6 15.Ba4 Bd6 {After this
move, Black's difficulties become acute; ...O-O (but who
thinks of O-O in an endgame?) would definitely have led to an
easier game, e.g. : 15...O-O 16 Bb3 Rcd8 17 Rac1 Na5 18 Rc2
Nxb3 19 axb3 Bd6 20 Rfc1 and Black can view the White c-file

on the e-file is threatened. The necessity to keep the d-pawn
covered has a paralysing effect on Black's game, and White,
with two bishops has a nice easy game.} b6 {The beginning of a

of defence has become clear; he wishes to have his rooks on d8

...h6 also was necessary as otherwise White's Bg5 would force
...f6 disarranging Black's K side; he could not have stood the
hole at e6.} 22.g4 {22 Bb4 Bxb4 with ...Kd6.} Kc8 {With the
defensive threat ...Nc6, Be3, ...Bf8 and Black's game is

{The isolated pawn scored a partial success in this game but
only in the generally accepted sense. Theoretically speaking,
the course of this game is tantamount to a declaration of
insolvency on the part of the isolated pawn: instead of the
alleged dynamic strength, we see a timid concealment of its
static weakness. Dr. Krause, it must be admitted, has planned
and conducted the game excellently; that no advantage can be
obtained from an isolated pawn is clearly not his fault.}

enterprising blockade style.} Bf5 {Brreaking-up attempts
beginning with ...b6 would have been premature, e.g., 9...b6
10 b4 a5 11 b5 and c6.} 10.Bd3 {Here the natural continuation
would have been 10 Bb5 followed by Bxc6+.} Bxd3 11.Qxd3 b6

account of 13...Nb4 with the gain of a tempo.} O-O 13.Bg5 h6
14.Bh4 bxc5 15.dxc5 Ne5 16.Qd4 Ng6 17.Bg3 c6 {Black has a good
d-pawn (poorly blockaded) and the possibility of attacking the
White c-pawn. Against this White's control of the diagonal
from g3 to b8 does not seem to afford an equivalent. White
should clearly have played 10 Bb5.} 18.Nb4 Rc8 19.h3 Re8
{Making room for the knight and at the same time preparing for
the occupation of the central file, which white cannot dispute
because of the difficulties at c5.} 20.Rad1 Nf8 21.Nd3 Qa5
{White saw that 22 Qa4 is now forced, and had prepared a
highly original centralization maneuver in reply.} 22.Qa4 {Bad
would be 22 b4 Qa3 23 Rb1 Ne6 24 Qe5 Nd7 25 Qe1 Nfxc5 26 bxc5
Bf6.} Qxa4 23.Nxa4 Ne4 {Now the knight occupies the center,
which has become free after the deflection of the defending
forces.} 24.Bh2 Ne6 {What can the knight want? The c-pawn is
easy to defend.} 25.b4 Nd4 {A quite extraordinary
cO-Operation! Two knights, of which one can easily be driven
away (f3) and the other is undefended, and yet they control
the board.} 26.Rfe1 {If 26 f3 Ne2+ followed by ...Ng3+.} Bh4
{The third ally.} 27.Be5 {White was in difficulties. This move
loses a pawn.} Rxe5 28.Nxe5 Bxf2+ 29.Kf1 Bxe1 30.Rxd4 Bg3

threatened wing.} 34.Nc3 Nxc3 35.Rxc3 Re4 36.a3 Ke8 37.Rd3 {A
fine move. If now ...Kd7; b5.} a6 38.Rd4 f5 39.a4 Kd7 40.b5

study.} axb5 41.axb5 cxb5 42.Rxd5+ Kc6 {The extra material is
returned with thanks.} 43.Rd4 {If 43 Rxf5, b4; etc.} Kxc5

game.} 8. Nge2 Nce7 {The following are the component parts of
the strange-looking line of play : (1) e4 clearly must be
looked upon as a strategically important point (= an outpost
on the e-file), (2) consequently the d-pawn which supports
this point is valuable. Over-protection of this valuable pawn
is therefore in keeping with our stratagem of
over-protection. The question arises (3) will the Kt which is
to occupy e4 be able to maintain itself there? It must be
recognized already that such is the case (compare Black's 12th
move). Much weaker at this stage would be 8...Nf6 because of 9
Bg5.} 9. Nf4 Nf6 {Now Bg5 can no longer be played.} 10. h3 h5

Nc5. The prospects of the knight on outpost duty appear to
have shrunk alarmingly, in fact, the whole system 8...Nce7
appears to be practically refuted. But No, it is not so.} Nxc3
{The knight inflicts a gaping wound, namely, the doubled pawns
at c2 and c3; White's open file is more or less of no value
and he will be slowly crushed to death. The knight on e4 has
succeeded in maintaining his position, though not in a literal
sense (compare note to move 8).} 13. bxc3 Nc6 14. Nb4 Be6

1. e4 { Notes by Raymond Keene. } e6 {Before concluding this

discussion of Nimzowitsch's handling of the French Defence
from the Black side we must mention his original treatment of
the Orthodox variation -- which has points in common with his
own defence and his interpretation of the Winawer.} 2. d4 d5
3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e5 Ng8 {!? This unusual move, or
rather the strategic conception underlying Nimzowitsch's
interpretation of this move, contains in itself the
quintessential Nimzowitschian paradox: provocation and
prevention, under one roof, as it were. White will naturally
wish to administer sharp punishment for the 'insult' involved
in returning the knight to its initial square,
e.g. Levy-Heidenfeld, Dublin 1968: 5...Ng8 6 Be3 b6 7
g4?!. But such violence may later react to White's
disadvantage, especially if he continues in like vein. As to
prophylaxis: with White's pawn chain established on dark
squares and with White in possession of a 'territorial plus'
on the kingside Black must over-protect the kingside light
squares (f5/g4/g6) to forestall a kingside pawn avalanche by
White along the lines of (eventually) f2-f4/g2-g4 and
f4-f5. Bizarre though it may appear 5...Ng8 achieves far more
in the direction of the said over-protection (since the knight
can redeploy via e7 or h6 to f5) than does 5...Nfd7. The
disadvantage, of course, is the 'anti-development' of a piece,
but so long as Black avoids a premature ...c7-c5 the position
will remain closed and virtually impervious to breakthrough;
and, after all, is d7 such a marvellous square for the Black
king's knight? } 6. Be3 b6 7. Qg4 {?! In a detailed discussion
of the whole 5...Ng8 variation (Chessman Quarterly, 1970) the
Irish International John Moles recommended 7 h4! giving as a
reasonable continuation: 7...h5 8 Be2 g6 9 Nf3 Ba6 10 Qd2 Bxe2
11 Nxe2 Nc6 followed by ...Qd7 and ...O-O-O. Perhaps White is
slightly better, although Black's set-up is extremely tough. }
