Christian Bauer: The Nasty Nimzowitsch Defence – A review
Aron Nimzowitsch, theoretician, author of „My System“, and one of the world’s best players at the end of the 1920s, liked to answer 1.e4 with the provocative move 1…Nc6, the „Nimzowitsch Defence“. The move is slightly offbeat but offers Black good chances as the French GM Christian Bauer shows on his ChessBase course „The Nasty Nimzowitsch Defence“, published in 2019. Paul Kane, who runs the website „The Caissa Kid“, had a look at Bauer’s course and concludes: „‚The Nasty Nimzowitsch Defence‘ is a quality piece of work which was a great pleasure to study.“
