Sirs chessposter:
Always congratulating you for your excellent page
and reminding you that about a year ago I respectfully sent you a
correction regarding a Nimzovich Chess
quote that you attributed to Siegbert Tarrasch.
You asked for a source of information that I am kindly providing:
http://www.hipermoderno.com/,
which is also a very reliable Chess site.
I
would like for you to include this update on the Chess Quotes
section especially quote #225. This way, future misunderstandings
will be avoided among Chess fans that periodically visit this
marvelous page.

Dear viewer,
Although many Chess sites attribute
this quote to Dr.
Siegbert Tarrasch, we found the following:
Latvia's Aaron Nimzovich
(1886-1935) was a profound Chess
thinker whose theories influenced generations of players. He
settled in Denmark in 1922 where, from a small rented room
in Copenhagen, he penned his classic MY SYSTEM.
His great antagonist Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, spokesman for
the classical school, wryly noted: "Nimzovich has a
pronounced liking for ugly moves. His main strength lies in
original, often bizarre maneuvers which are difficult to
refute in practical play."
Nimzovich, who could be equally pompous, retorted: "Tarrasch
was himself not too familiar with the process of chess
creativity. The beauty of a move lies not in its
appearance, but in the thought behind it."
