In the late 1920s, Nimzowitsch was one of the best chess players in the world. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns and wrote a very influential book on chess theory: My System (1925–1927). Nimzowitsch's seminal work Chess Praxis, initially published in German in 1929, was purchased by a pre-teen and future World Champion Tigran Petrosian and was to influence significantly his development as a chess player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNimzowitsch is considered one of chess's most important players and writers. His works influenced numerous other players, including Savielly Tartakower, Milan Vidmar, Richard Réti, Akiba Rubinstein, Mikhail Botvinnik, Bent Larsen, Viktor Korchnoi and Tigran Petrosian, and his influence is still felt today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePages: 560\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 17.4 x 3.6 x 23.6cm\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9789056916596\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49929377972376,"sku":"tew1789625168102","price":32.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9519\/9128\/files\/my-system-chess-praxis-aron-nimzowitsch_1.jpg?v=1789625172","url":"https:\/\/rivercurve.shop\/products\/my-system-chess-praxis-aron-nimzowitsch","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
