"My System" has been the reference book of many outstanding chess players of the past and present. Blockade and prevention, undermining the base of the pawn chain and maneuvering, excessive protection and a mysterious move — these and many other techniques were laid out on the shelves by the famous grandmaster and teacher Aron Nimtsovich. Written in lively, imaginative language, this is not just a classic, but a really brilliant textbook of positional play. A chess player who has studied it seriously will learn a deep insight into the secrets of the ancient game. The book will be useful both for chess players who have just started climbing the classification steps, and for their more experienced colleagues.
