Almost a century ago, a chess book about positional play and strategic concepts appeared on the chess scene.

Since then, Aron Nimzovich's magnum opus My System has been embraced by every generation of chessplayers. For many years, Nimzovich was known as the "Stormy Petrel" of the chess world.

He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns. Born in part of the Russian Empire, the Jewish German-speaking Nimzowitsch came from a wealthy family, where he learned chess from his father, who was a merchant. In 1904, he travelled to Berlin to study philosophy, but set aside his studies soon and began a career as a professional chess player that same year. He won his first international tournament at Munich 1906.[3] Then, he tied for first with Alexander Alekhine at Saint Petersburg 1913/14 (the eighth All-Russian Masters' Tournament). During the 1917 Russian Revolution, Nimzowitsch was in the Baltic war zone. He escaped being drafted into one of the armies by feigning madness, insisting that a fly was on his head. He then escaped to Berlin, and gave his first name as Arnold, possibly to avoid anti-Semitic persecution. Nimzowitsch eventually moved to Copenhagen in 1922,[5] which coincided with his rise to the world chess elite, where he lived for the rest of his life in one small rented room.[6] In Copenhagen, he twice won the Nordic Chess Championship, in 1924 and 1934. He obtained Danish citizenship and lived in Denmark until his death in 1935." ; FINE. Book.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'My System: A Chess Treatise' is one of the most influential works in the history of chess literature. Written by Grandmaster Aron Nimzowitsch, this foundational text introduced the world to the 'Hypermodern' school of thought, revolutionizing how the game is understood and played at the highest levels. Challenging the classical principles of his era, Nimzowitsch provides a rigorous framework for strategic mastery.The treatise is meticulously organized into two primary sections: 'The Elements' and 'Positional Play.' Within these pages, the author explores his groundbreaking concepts, including prophylaxis, the blockade, overprotection, and the importance of controlling the center with pieces rather than just pawns. Through a combination of theoretical explanation and annotated games, Nimzowitsch guides the reader through the nuances of maneuvering and structural planning.As a cornerstone of chess education, 'My System: A Chess Treatise' remains essential reading for players seeking to elevate their game.
