Aron Nimzowitsch's influence on chess is profound, with his works shaping modern strategies. This collection, compiled by historian Rudolf Reinhardt, features all of Nimzowitsch's games post-1928, complete with annotations from Nimzowitsch and his contemporaries. It also includes his articles from the last seven years of his life, providing insight into the chess scene of the late 1920s and 1930s. The book captures the essence of Nimzowitsch as a player and thinker, showcasing his unique style and the competitive dynamics of his time.

The book presents a pioneering work by Aron Nimzowitsch, a notable figure in 1920s chess and a World Chess Championship aspirant. It explores his strategic concepts, particularly focusing on the principles of restraining, blockading, and ultimately destroying the opponent's position. Newly translated into a dual-language format, this edition revives a significant yet overshadowed text, offering insights into Nimzowitsch's innovative approach to chess strategy alongside his more famous work, My System.

My System is at the top of a very short list of chess classics. Nimzowitsch’s ideas have had a profound influence on modern chess thinking. Most chess masters will at some point have studied Nimzowitsch’s work, and not to have read My System is by many regarded as a shocking gap in a chess player’s education. The problem for an English-speaking audience has been that My System was written in German more than eighty years ago. The commonly-used contemporary translations have sounded dated for some time, and were always questionable: the translators frequently toned down many passages, fearing Nimzowitsch’s biting wit would be too controversial. This edition uses a brand-new translation that recreates the author’s original intentions. For the first time an English-speaking audience can appreciate the true nature of a famous chess book.

The book expands on strategies introduced in My System through a collection of deeply annotated games, showcasing the practical application of Nimzowitsch's principles. It serves as a manifesto for the Hypermodern School of Chess, which includes notable figures like Richard Reti and S.G. Tartakower. The detailed analysis offers insights into innovative chess strategies and the evolution of modern chess theory.

"His abrasive, biting wit shines through his prose even in translation … always sparkling and provocative." — Chess NewsKnown as "The Father of Modern Chess" and "The Stormy Petrel of the Chess World," Aron Nimzovich (1886–1935) transformed his greatest performance into a brilliantly eccentric and entertaining book. In this account of his victory at the 1929 Carlsbad Tournament, Nimzovich offers a captivating retrospective of his triumph over some of the best of his Capablanca, Spielman, Maroczy, Rubinstein, Marshall, Euwe, Bogolyubov, Tartakower, Sämisch, and ten others.Nimzovich's introduction argues that the chess world is morally obligated to arrange a match between himself and Alekhine, the world champion who avoided possible defeat by simply not playing among strong competitors, including Nimzovich. He continues his case in a tart analysis of Carlsbad's 30 best games, including his tense duel with Capablanca (drawn), and the brilliancy prize game between Sämisch and Grünfeld. Nimzovich offers psychological interpretations of style and personal character as revealed in the play of Capablanca, Spielmann, and Rubinstein, as well as a selection of instructive games from among the non-prizewinners.

Chess Praxis is a superb collection of Aron Nimzowitsch's best games annotated by the great man himself, but it is even more than that. Nimzowitsch and his hypermodern ideas had a huge influence on modern chess thinking. Nimzowitsch first expounded his views in My System. In his follow-up Chess Praxis he demonstrated and explained how his concepts worked in his own games.This is a completely new translation of Nimzowitsch's classic work, which will allow the reader to appreciate influential ideas explained in modern language
