One of the greatest chess legends of all time, Aron Nimzowitsch
(1886-1935), is best known for founding the Hypermodernism school
of chess, which emerged after World War I to challenge the chess
ideologies of traditional central European masters. This first
full-scale biography of Nimzowitsch chronicles his early life in
Denmark, his family and education, and his fascination with the
game that would become the focus of his life. Also included are
explorations of his tournament games and records, his dispute with
influential chess teacher Siegbert Tarrasch, and his role in the
development of Hypermodern Chess. With detailed accounts of nearly
450 games and the only narrative of Nimzowitsch from 1914 to 1924,
a period formerly cloaked in mystery, this volume offers the most
thorough profile available of one of chess's greatest innovators.
