🔹 Aron Nimzowitsch
🔹 Danish-Russian chess master
🔸 Full name: Aron Nimzowitsch
🔸 Country: Russia Latvia Denmark
🔸 Born: 7 November 1886 Riga, Russian Empire
🔸 Died: 16 March 1935 (aged 48) Copenhagen, Denmark
♦️ Aron Nimzowitsch was a Russian-born, Danish leading chess master and influential chess writer. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns.
♦️ The height of Nimzowitsch's career was the late 1920s and early 1930s. Chessmetrics places him as the third best player in the world from 1927 to 1931, behind Alexander Alekhine and José Capablanca.
His most notable successes were first-place finishes at Copenhagen 1923, Marienbad 1925, Dresden 1926, Hanover 1926, the Carlsbad 1929 chess tournament, and second place behind Alekhine at the San Remo 1930 chess tournament.
Nimzowitsch never developed a knack for match play, though; his best match success was a draw with Alekhine, but the match consisted of only two games and took place in 1914, thirteen years before Alekhine became world champion.

📘 20...Bf6?
Black should have played 20...fxe6. Trying to keep material, actually makes Black's position worse.

📘 19.Nd4!
Carlsen decides that the best way to break Black's annoying pin is to completely ignore it! The two bishops advantage and better pawn structure provide him adequate compensation for the exchange.
19.Bd3 Bxd3 20.cxd3 c5! 21.bxc5 Bxc5 black has more active pieces.
19.g3 Rae8 20.Bd3 Bxd3 21.cxd3 c5! is similar to the line above.
