Sämisch vs Nimzowitsch — Copenhagen 1923 · Queen's Indian Defense (E18)
Nimzowitsch
Sämisch
Copenhagen, nineteen twenty-three. This game gave its name to a whole concept: being so tied up you can't make a single legal move without losing.
The board stops before the key move — you'll have to find it yourself.
