Saemisch vs. Nimzovich: Berlin, 1928

The following game is an example of, well, a lot. It's a long game, and I will most likely be revisiting this post to update my/our analysis of the game. It starts with Nimzovich playing a very odd and rare line in the French Defense. In fact, this game was the earliest listed example of the variation in the chess.com database. Throughout the game, the advantages Nimzovich creates for himself are transferred into new advantages once the original ones start to expire. The game is a good example of how a player may oftentimes need to transition from winning in one way into a different advantage, as many times some positional features may diminish in strength as a game goes on.
