Welcome to the Nimzovich Defense, and the Nimzovich Defense Ultimate CD! Now the fascinating world of 1.e4 Nc6 is captured on disk - a world beginning on the first move, in which Black develops a piece, pressures the center, and reserves all options; in which he offers no concession, no target, and no weakness! Never before has it been possible to see "Nimzo's Other" in action, fully digitized and backed by today's computing power. Starting with exhaustive archival material from Hugh Myers, and continuing to the latest tournament game, this CD presents a complete and dynamic system for Black (not to mention must-see analysis for the 1.e4 player!). The catch-phrase after 1.e4 Nc6 is "sound and reliable," so that players of any level will find a powerful weapon in the Nimzovich Defense. At last, a modern 1.e4 Nc6 database is here, making it possible to quickly master the basic ideas of this solid opening.
(For use with ChessBase or CB Light) Format: CD-ROM, 10,750+ games (over 650 annotated), Introduction by Hugh Myers, 6 Opening Reports, 7 Surveys, and detailed opening keys. "Tree" (.ctg) database included
Dunkle,J - Pickard,S corr. 1987 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5 4.c3 e6 5.Ne2 f6 6.f4 h5 7.Ng3 Bxb1 8.Rxb1 h4 9.Ne2 Qd7 10.Qd3 10...Nce7!? (Normal and good is 10...Nge7) 11.b4 Nh6?! (Blocks the h-file. Better is 11...Nf5) 12.g3! hxg3 13.hxg3 f5 14.Qc2 Nf7 15.Rxh8 Nxh8 16.Bh3?! (Not very useful. Better is 16.Be3) 16...Nf7 17.Be3 0-0-0 18.b5 Kb8 19.a4 Nc8 20.a5 (Black has allowed his King to become a target, thinking to endure White's attack. Perhaps a bit too hopeful!) 20...Be7 21.Qb3 g5 22.Bg2 gxf4 23.gxf4 Rg8 24.Bf3 Bh4+ 25.Kd2 Bd8 26.c4! (White now builds up a nice attack) 26...dxc4 27.Qxc4 Ne7 28.Nc3 Nh6! 29.Bc6!? (Aggressive, and not bad either. Instead, both 29.a6 and 29.d5 fuel White's attack, and offer him a slight edge) 29...Qc8 30.d5 Rg2+ 31.Kd3 Rg3? (An error. Also bad is 31...bxc6? 32.bxc6+ Ka8 33.Rb7 and White wins. However, Black can wade into deep water with 31...Ng4! 32.d6 Nxe3 33.dxe7 Nxc4 34.e8Q Nxe5+ (34...Nd6!?) 35.fxe5 bxc6 with fantastic complications.) 32.dxe6? (White returns the favour! He could have won by 32.Qc5! Nxc6 (32...Rxe3+ 33.Kxe3 bxc6 34.bxc6+ Ka8 35.Rb7 wins) 33.bxc6 b6 34.axb6 cxb6 35.d6 winning) 32...Ng4! 33.Bd7? (It's very hard to resist the chance to smother the Black Queen, but White should play 33.Nd1! bxc6 34.bxc6+ Ka8 35.Ke2 [35.Rb7? Nxc6 wins; 35.a6?! Ng6, planning 36...N6xe5+ and wins] 35...Nxe3 36.Nxe3 Rh3 with a slight advantage for Black) 33...Nxe3 (Winning) 34.Qd4 N3d5+ 35.Kd2 c5! 36.bxc6 Bxa5! 37.Qc5 Nxc3 38.Qd6+ Bc7 39.Rb4 Bxd6 40.exd6 Qh8 41.Rxb7+ Ka8, 0-1 Not a perfect game, but typical of the exciting games resulting from 1.e4 Nc6!

Here's what you get with the Nimzovich Defense Ultimate CD:
·The main database contains over 5,500 high-quality games. Countless games were carefully retrieved from long forgotten publications, and are simply available nowhere else.
·Over 650 annotated games. The list of commentators amounts to a "who's who" in chess - if anyone has ever analyzed a 1.e4 Nc6 game, it's probably here!
·An excellent introduction by Hugh Myers, detailing the historical development of this opening. Newcomers to the Nimzovich Defense will enjoy the theoretical overview, with 18 hyperlinked games selected by Myers. There's even a photo of Aaron Nimzovich himself!
·Specialized opening keys are provided, with nearly 500 classification positions.
·6 Opening Reports and 7 Surveys (including one by Carl Jaenisch from 1842!) offer a valuable guide to to the structure of 1.e4 Nc6.
·A "bonus" database of over 5,200 Nimzovich Defense blitz games. These encounters are not to be taken lightly - the great majority feature players rated 2400- 2500, plus super computers in the 2800-3000 range!
·A tree (.ctg) database (built from all 10,750 games) is included. While useful and interesting in its own right, this database can also be "fed" to Fritz5 with unbelievable results!
·Also inside are .cbf (old ChessBase) and .pgn files.

Note: Again, this electronic book requires either ChessBase or CB Light. The graphical commentary and multi-media elements contained in this disk cannot be read using other less popular software, even after "conversion."
Auf der Suche nach immer neuen Superlativen bei der Namensgebung hat "ultimate" seinen Vorgänger "complete" inzwischen vollständig verdrängt, man darf schon auf die nächste Steigerung gespannt sein ...
Die neue "The Nimzovich Defense (1. e4 Sc6) Ultimate CD" von Pickard & Son kommt dem mit der Namensgebung verbundenen Anspruch recht nahe, da sie trotz der eher bescheidenen Verbreitung dieser Eröffnung erstaunlich viel Material beinhaltet, das in drei Abschnitte unterteilt ist.
In der Hauptdatenbank befinden sich: Ein kurzes Vorwort zu dieser CD, eine längere Einleitung zur Geschichte dieser Eröffnung, über 5500 Partien, von denen mehr als 600 kommentiert sind (allerdings meist nur mit ein paar wenigen Varianten), sowie 6 "Reports" und 7 "Surveys".
Während letztere nur kurze Übersichten der wichtigsten Varianten enthalten, bieten die Reports die eigentliche Grundlage für das Studium dieser Eröffnung. Jeweils ein Kapitel behandelt die Varianten 2. Sf3 f5, 2. d4 d5 3. Sc3 Sf6, 3. e5 Lf5 4. c3, 2. d4 e5 3. dxe5 Sxe5 4. Sf3, 2. Sf3 d6 3. d4 Sf6 4. Sc3 Lg4 5. Le3 und 5. Le2.
Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit kurzen Infos zu den wichtigsten Anhängern und einigen Statistiken. Nun folgt die Analyse der Varianten, wobei reichlich Statistik und Partiebeispiele den Weg durch den Variantendschungel zeigen.
So interessant und hilfreich diese Reports auch sind: Bei Ihrer Betrachtung sollte man dennoch sehr kritisch sein, da sie durch eine Funktion von ChessBase 7.0 automatisch erzeugt wurden, die "menschliche" Kontrolle ist also Aufgabe des Benutzers. Alle Texte auf dieser CD sind in Englisch.
Unter "Nimzo-Blitz" gibt es weiteres Forschungsmaterial, nämlich über 5000 Partien aus dem Internet Chess Club. Auch wenn die angegebenen Wertungszahlen der Spieler meist sehr hoch sind, ist bei einer Bedenkzeit von in der Regel 3 oder 5 Minuten pro Partie die Qualität der Partien mit Vorsicht zu genießen.
Dazu kommt noch ein Eröffnungsbaum (CTG-Format) mit allen Partien aus den beiden Datenbänken mit den üblichen Statistikwerten zu Häufigkeit, Erfolgsbilanz, ELO-Schnitt und ELO-Leistung zu jedem Zug.
Die Datenbänke sind im CBH, CBF und PGN - Format enthalten, ein Programm zur Arbeit mit diesen Datenbänken wird jedoch nicht zur Verfügung gestellt. Wer noch kein geeignetes Programm besitzt und über Internetzugang verfügt, sollte sich ChessBase Light downloaden, das gibt's unter www.chessbase.com kostenlos. Apropos Kosten: Der Preis von "The Nimzovich ..." beträgt $ 29,95, was mir allerdings etwas zu hoch erscheint.
