A game with the Nimzovitsch defense
Nice one DimPhoenix! Move 11 was genuis! It took me a few seconds to get.. Idea was to recapture with queen if taken immediately and castle queenside right, immobolizing his pieces?
Personally I can never pull of such positional feats so that move really impressed me!

It's actually a forced mate if the knight is captured.

Thanks dude, yeah taking with the queen would come next and Kf1 Qf2#, alternatively Kh1 Nf2+ Kg1 Nh3++ (Kf1 Qf2# again) Kh1 Qg1+! Rxg1 Nf2#
Nice.
However 4.Bb5 worries me a bit, ergo a6 makes sense since on Bd3 Black can play Nb4 followed by c5.
