This carries on from the debate started by "someone british" but I felt that this example was so good that it deserved its own post. Aron Nimzowitsch (playing without his Queen's knight) spots a way to save the day for white. See if you can find it.

Perpetual check is inherent in the rules of chess. I can't recall any good player ever having a problem with it. Who has ever criticized it?
