In the video “Nimzowitsch’s My System Part 1” by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili, he reviews some of Aron Nimzowitsch’s games and a few key positions.

Throughout the video, Roman shows how Nimzowitsch evaluated certain positions, and also adds his own explanations as well. Roman’s explanations help the viewer to really understand the underlying principles, criteria and reasons for the moves made by Nimzowitsch. In contrast to the variations that Nimzowitsch only used, we also get to see the thought process behind the moves played.

In the first position analyzed, Roman explains how White is able to carry out a strong attack on his opponent’s king. Instead of just showing us the moves that could be made, we also get to understand the criteria behind this attack and why these factors help White to know if he should attack right now or not.

What are the criteria for attacking that Roman talks about? How can we figure out the plans in positions that we have in our own games? Watch the video to find out!
