100 Years Later, Nimzovich Is Still Good for Your Chess! Almost a century ago, a chess book about positional play and strategic concepts appeared on the chess scene. Written by a Latvian grandmaster residing in Denmark, it quickly took its place as one of the classics of chess literature. Since then, Aron Nimzovich's magnum opus My System has been embraced by every generation of chessplayers. However, there were some inherent flaws. For starters, it was quite "dense." The reader had to plow through many subjective digressions and other literary detours before getting to the core concepts. Now American Grandmaster Alex Fishbein has adapted this classic for the modern chessplayer. While remaining true to the original text - and with the same goals as his outstanding work with the FastTrack Edition of Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual - Fishbein has produced an eminently readable, modernized version of My System. The result is a book that not only retains the unique imagery of the original text, but a book that is also easy to understand by both club players and masters. As the author stated in his preface: "Nimzovich's ideas have stood the test of time and, if anything, are more relevant today. In his famous foreword to the Russian edition from 1974, Mikhail Tal wrote: 'This old book, sustaining many editions in different forms and different languages, is imbued with an elixir of eternal chess youth.' My aim was to retain that elixir in this new translation." "Alex brings you the best of Nimzovich's My System, erasing all misconceptions. As a newcomer to the game, you will feel blessed to learn pure, unmistakable strategies, while if you are an old chap like me, you will appreciate the fresh clarity, helping you re-evaluate your personal chess philosophy... Nimzovich is good for your chess, and a more coherent Nimzovich even better." - From the Foreword by GM Vassilios Kotronias
