Dortmund R3: 20-year-old Duda beats fellow countryman and defending champion Wojtaszek again to remain the sole leader and enter the world top 20!
12...Qb8
I felt the time still wasn't right for ...b5, so I carried on developing behind the lines. The text prepares to bring a rook to the c-file so that I can ease my cramped position with an exchange of rooks (Sadler).
13.Rac1 Rc8 14.Bb1 cxd4 15.Rxc8+ Qxc8 16.Nxd4 b5!
So here we have it: the standard QGA symmetrical pawn structure.

Got my weakness, back to the transit square. The knight is now looking at both f3 and c4 (Sadler).
19.Rac1 a5
Looking for ...b4 to step up the pressure on e4.

▪️ Aron Nimzowitsch
▪️ Danish-Russian Writer and Chess Grandmaster
🔰 Aron Nimzowitsch was a Russian-born, Danish leading chess grandmaster and influential chess writer. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns.
Full name: Aron Nimzowitsch
Country: Russia Latvia Denmark
Born: 7 November 1886
Riga, Russian Empire
Died: 16 March 1935 (aged 48)
Copenhagen, Denmark
Education: Humboldt University of Berlin
Nationality: Danish, Russian
🔰Aron Nimzowitsch, Latvian-born chess master and theoretician who was renowned for his book My System (1925) but failed to win a world championship, despite many attempts.
🔰Nimzowitsch learned to play chess from his father, a wholesale merchant, when he was eight years old, but only after he entered the University of Berlin in 1904 did he concentrate on the game. My System, which advocates what came to be called the Hypermodern school of chess, remains a classic.
🔰Nimzowitsch is best remembered for having created a new vocabulary for chess that made the strategy of the masters more intelligible. He also developed several theories of play, including the Nimzowitsch-Indian defense.
