Aron Nimzowitsch, 1928-1935

Aron Nimzowitsch 1928-1935 brings together the games, annotations, articles and essays from the final years of one of chess’s most influential thinkers, giving readers a single volume that connects his practical play with the ideas behind it.

This chess book focuses on the period from 1928 to 1935 and is especially useful for anyone studying chess strategy, Nimzowitsch’s work or chess history. It continues where Chess Praxis leaves off, while also placing his thinking in the wider context of late 1920s and 1930s chess theory and tournament culture.

What’s inside

Compiled by the German chess historian Rudolf Reinhardt, the book gathers Nimzowitsch’s games after 1928 from a range of sources. Alongside the games themselves, you will find Nimzowitsch’s own comments and, in selected cases, remarks by his contemporaries.

Reinhardt also included articles and essays written by Nimzowitsch during this period. That makes the book more than a game collection: it offers a broader view of the chess world in which he was active, from major events and theoretical debates to the opponents and ideas that shaped his writing.

The result is a portrait of Nimzowitsch as both player and author. For readers who already know My System and Chess Praxis, this volume is a natural companion and a practical source for further study.

Why read it?

If you are interested in classic games, the development of chess theory and original writings by great masters, Aron Nimzowitsch 1928-1935 gives you access to material that was not easy to find in one place. It works well both as a book to read through and as a source for careful game analysis.
