By the 1920s, the modern and more scientific approach to chess that began with Wilhelm Steinitz had been around for over half a century.  It seemed that the core principles of the game had been discovered.  Then one man arrived and challenged everything.  This is the story of Aron Nimzowitsch.


The game this time is Nimzowitsch vs. Sämisch, Copenhagen (1923).   Before you listen, check out the full annotation here: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1102400
