Absolutely great game by Stahlberg. Thanks for showing us this fantastic game...

I had not heard of Stahlberg before this series of games, very impressive.

06:05 perhaps it would have been better for Nimzowitsch not to capture the rook but to move pawn to d6?

[garrysekelli]

Stahl berg was like a Steel mountain. Like Joseph Stalin. But boxer version. Using his punchers like rooks left and right.

[erichoffmann]

Great game good to see Nimzowich playing the Nimzo Indian

[phillipmiga]

Stahlberg just wanted to demolish his opponent
