San Remo, 1930

In the years following his match with Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine dominated the international Chess scene.  He was not satisfied with winning a tournament by a small margin, but played every game with a fierce will to win.  San Remo 1930, was one of his greatest triumphs, as he won by a margin of 3 points, and would not agree to draws even in the final rounds. Here his artful use of  pins  reduces  Nimzovich,  who finished second, to virtual Zugzwang in only 30 minutes.
