As a chess player, Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935) belonged to the
very best. In his peak years the Latvian-born maestro was ranked
third in the world behind Capablanca and Alekhine. His greatest
successes were first place in Dresden in 1926 (81/2/9, one and a
half points ahead of Alekhine) and Carlsbad 1929 (15/21, ahead of
Capablanca, Spielmann and Rubinstein). However, Nimzowitsch will
first and foremost be remembered as the founder of the Hypermodern
movement and the author of the undisputed classics My System and
Chess Praxis. In his first book, he expounded his theories of
prophylaxis, blockades and much more, while providing
ground-breaking insights in pawn-structures. In the sequel
Nimzowitsch demonstrated how he had successfully tested his
theories in his games. Nimzowitschs masterpieces are unique
landmarks in the history of chess. Without reading Nimzowitsch your
chess education cannot be complete. Perhaps not all of his
convictions have stood the test of time, but even today, any chess
student will deepen his understanding and broaden his play while
enjoying the author s insights and witticisms. Part of the charm of
Nimzowitschs prose was his idiosyncratic use of the German
language, which has carefully been preserved in Robert Sherwoods
new translation. Bonus: Added are the influential essays The
Blockade and On the History of the Chess Revolution 1911-1914. This
edition gives the reader access to Nimzowitschs four major works!
