Initially when i was reading this book, i was of the opinion, "would have been just better if he talked straight to the point". However, on readin reading and more readingm i felt my love for chess increase, it really felt that nimzowitsch truly believes there is a 'soul' in chess game, 'soul' in the pieces and the position. Which was wonderful, And obsly modern books may be more "informative" than my system. None of them have the same "soul" as this. And i can wholeheartedly recommend it just for that.

“My System & Chess Praxis” by Aron Nimzowitsch.
Nimzowitsch wrote a historically significant book on strategy and positional chess. However, like most trailblazers, better versions of the original have come on the scene. Personally, I received this book at the perfect moment in my own chess development and it therefore holds a special place in my heart and on my shelf. However, I do not suggest this book but instead “Winning Chess Strategy For Kids” by Jeff Coakley and “How to Reassess Your Chess” by IM Jeremy Silman depending on your skill level.
