Aaron Nimzovich was one of the most famous chess players and writers ever. It's the sort of logical positional move he might have played..
What does "In style of Nimzovich" mean?
Sort:
Nimzovich was known for sometimes playing mysterious moves. So i guess that computer doesn't think that your move is bad, but just doesn't see what you are trying to achieve.

Fritz can't analyze things like "style". Nimzovich tended to coordinate his pieces and pawns in unconventional ways, hence openings like 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nc6 bear his name.
Aron Nimzowitch one of the greatest minds in Chess.. he's way up there with the likes of Steinitz, Lasker and the unpredictable Botvinnik.
I see. Lot's of different guesses here. So my move is a mysterious but sound positional move?
Nimzovitch was a great advocator for overprotection - he believed that in overprotecting the correct square, all the pieces would automatically be in the best position for the game - maybe Fritz is pointing out the fact that you are 'overprotecting' the e5 square, with your Knight, Bishop and d6 pawn.

Ofcourse! That might be it!

Well it seems quite logical to me. Positioning your Knight with a view to f4? Also I'm not sure, but g6 may be have been a threat opening more lines to your King? Well, what were your reasons for it?

I don't think "overprotecting" e5 was really necessary..

Yes, to stop the threat of g6 and opening the h file. I didn't make the move to over protect :-)

I'm intrigued by the interesting game annotation. Does it only work when you analyze with Fritz or is the annotation independent of the engine you use for analysis? They'd have to be able to classify moves in a very interesting way for this work. I'm curious if it's able to provide useful annotation concerning changes in the pawn structure? How about tactical motifs? i.e. x-ray, decoy, deflection, clearance etc. If so, that's damn impressive.
I've only tried analyzing with fritz. Fritz does generally always recognize decoys and deflections from what I can tell wich is pretty impressive. I haven't seen any comments on pawn structure yet though.
I had an intresting game few days back and I analyzed it in fritz. Now, fritz labled the move 13. ... Ng6 as "In style of Nimzovich
". What the heck does that mean? Is that good and in what way?
