Nimzovitch Defense

I played white, minimal look ahead is six tempi. 27-28 October.

	White	Black
1.	e4	Nc6
2.	d4	d5
3.	exd5	Qxd5
4.	Nf3	Bg4
5.	Be2	O-O-O
6.	Be3	Nf6
7.	O-O	Qa5     The best move for white. Nc3 is tempting but leads to problems.
8.	a3	e6
9.	c4	Be7     The definitive approach, I think, for white against the Nimzovitch Defense.
10.	Nb1d2	Rh8e8
11.	b4	Qf5
12.	Re1	Rh8
13.	Qb3	Ng8
14.	h3	Bxf3
15.	Nxf3	a5
16.	c5	Qd5
17.	Bc4	Qh5
18.	Qa4	axb4
19.	axb4	Nb8
20.	b5	b6
21.	cxb6	cxb6
22.	Re1c1	Kd7
23.	Qa7+	Ke8
24.	Qxb6	Nd7
25.	Qc6	Bb4
26.	b6	Kf8
27.	Ra7	Nb8
28.	Qc7	Ke8
29.	Bb3	Be7
30.	Ba4+	Kf8
31.	Bd2	Qd5
32.	Bb4	h5
