unbelievable that we didn't yet have this one. Found only this source https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/nimzowitsch.html

@ornicar It doesn't really matter, but I couldn't find a source of Nimzowitsch just saying the quote as a standalone sentence (although most people still quote him like that anyway). I actually used that chesshistory link as well, and it gave two instances:
- ‘This retreat by the strongly-posted queen is an excellent move. The pawn at e5 is now heading for its sad fate. It should be noted that Black has continually operated with the threat of …Qxa2 without executing it (the modern doctrine, which says that the threat is stronger than the execution).’
- ‘No, but he is threatening to smoke, and as an old player you must know that the threat is stronger than the execution’.
