As a chess player, Aron Nimzowitsch (18861935) belonged to the very best. In his peak years the Latvianborn maestro was ranked third in the world behind Capablanca and Alekhine. His greatest successes were first place in Dresden in 1926 (8/9, 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 groundbreaking insights in pawnstructures. 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 authors 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 19111914. This edition gives the reader access to Nimzowitschs four major works!
