📕 19.g3!
A strong move. The f4 break will guarantee a minimum of further space, and probably rather more.
The other moves like 19.b4 and 19.Nc3 would be met by 19...Be5!

📕 13.Qd2!
Far from worrying about ...Bh3, white is happy to trade off all four bishops, resting his claim for an advantage on the contest between his cracking knight on d5, and black's less promising beast on h6. As in the last game, the exchange of dark-squared bishops is not an encouragement for black to oust the white knight with the weakening ...e6.

Samuel Reshevsky (1911-1992) didn't go to school until he was 13. In 1924, Julius Rosenwald, CEO of Sears, offered to pay his education if he curtailed chess. Sammy moved to Detroit and was tutored until he could pass an exam for High School. He later attended the U of Detroit

🔸 Aron Nimzowitsch
🔸 Danish-Russian chess master and writer

♦️ Aron Nimzowitsch was a Russian-born, Danish leading chess master 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

♦️Aron Nimzowitsch, born in Riga, Latvia in 1886, came to prominence in the chess world just before the First World War. He was Russian Champion in 1913 (jointly with Alexander Alekhine) at St.Petersburg. He won a string of international events in the mid-1920s which led him to challenge Jose Raul Capablanca to a World Championship match in 1925, but negotiations dissolved after monetary backing could not be found. He took first place at Copenhagen (1923), Dresden (1926), Karlsbad (1929) and Frankfurt (1930).
