Aron Nimzowitsch: A Reappraisal by Keene, Raymond. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780713484380.

For more than a century until his death in 1935, Aron Nimzowitsch was recognised as one of the worlds foremost players. The leading Grandmaster of the Hypermodern school, his games were full of new ideas and plans, which were accompanied by landmarks in chess literature such as My System and Chess Praxis. Raymond Keene covers Nimzowitschs career in detail, continuing the themes of My System, and drawing on Nimzowitschs own notes, which had not appeared in English before this book. A wide selection of the Grandmasters games is included, along with an analysis of his iFootballuence on modern opening play.
