One of the most important concepts that have been deeply discussed by Nimzowitsch is blockade. White manages to blockade his opponent's pawns by establishing his pieces on the d4 and e5 squares just in front of black's central pawns.
9.b4! Be7 10.Bf4! fxe5 11.Nxe5 Nxe5 12.Bxe5 Nf6 13.Nd2 0-0 14.Nf3 Bd6 15.Qe2 Rac8 16.Bd4 Qc7 17.Ne5 +/-
A dream position for Nimzowitsch!

📘 41...Kh8??
In a superior but complicated position with a piece up, the Argentinian grandmaster made a blunder. He could protect his king by playing 41...Bg6 42.Nf5 Kh8!.
41...Kh8?? 42.Rxf8 1-0
After 42...Qxf8 43.Bxf6! Qxf6 44.Re8#

Black should have castled before playing this move.
9.Bxf5 gxf5 10.Nh4! Qd7 (10...e6 11.Nxf5) 11.Qf3 and there is no way for black to save the f pawn.
