1. e4 { Notes by Raymond Keene. } c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 {This
line was strongly recommended in Chess Praxis where
Nimzowitsch writes of 'the triumph of the bizarre and ugly
move' (Siegeszug being translated as 'triumph', but it
actually means triumph in the sense of a Roman triumph --
perhaps 'victory march' is a better translation). This game is
an amusing example of the victory march in progress. Note that
this move seems to plan the exchange of bishop for knight at
great speed. } 3...Qc7 {Modern theory centres around 3...g6,
which gives Black about equal chances.} 4. c3 a6 5. Ba4 {A
change of heart? } 5...Nf6 6. Qe2 e5 7. O-O Be7 8. d4 cxd4
{Better 8...d6. Now Black is in a bad way. } 9. cxd4 Nxd4
