DO NOT play like Nimzowitsch!

Hello guys! I want to share some interesting positions and games where young Nimzowitsch missed his chances. Everybody knew him like maestro of positional play, but when he was young the most important thing was tactic and combinations. He had sharp skills in tactic and clear calculation, that is why very often he attacks with sacrifices pieces even forgot about his own king. So, there are 3 perfect examples from 1902-1904 ( 16-18-years-old).

Second game was played in 1904, Nimzowitsch was 18-year-old, but had the same problems as 2 years ago.

The last game against his enemy - Tarrasch! They had too much differences between each other!
