When “Mr. Zugzwang” Aaron Nimzowitsch loses with his strategy, we get a situation similar to the hunter hunted … But when the hunter is the Great Aleksandr Alekhin, nothing is strange anymore!

Alekhin - Nimzowitsch
San Remo 1930

27. Ba4 Threat is b4-b5.
27. ..b5 Saving time
28.Bxb5 Ke8 29.Ba4 Kd8 30.h4!
Zugzwang! Black give up: any move would lead to irretrievable loss.
