What our customer's say!

"Classic way to become a stronger chess player", If you are learning to improve your chess skills, get this book and study it. You will IMPROVE. When I began my chess career, this was one of the few books that allowed me to understand positional play. My ratings shot up tremendously!

"On the book", The book is very good - if You have the basics of chess down, read it! The quality is tacky though - in my a little bit humid room the pages curled up mercilessly - just a little inconvenience

"Too hard for a 10 year old", My son is 10 with a rating about 1300. The chess coach recommended this book for studying at home. My son found the language and the style of the book too difficult, and he gave up rather quickly. He found the companion "Chess Praxis" book easier to follow, and he reads it regularly.
I am sure it's a great book, but I am not sure it is suitable for young kids...

"Difficult to Understand", I read this book when I was a teenager. Since then my understanding of chess has increased immensely. Even though at the time of reading I didn't understand a lot of it, I do notice that now later in life I use a lot of strategies in this book, but not neccessarily from reading this book. I am going to buy a new copy and see if I understand it better. This might not be the best book to get if you are a beginner because it is difficult to comprehend. If you are into buying chess books and want to have a nice collection, then you should get this book. For those who want a book that is easy to understand and will see a marketable return then try "How To Reassess Your Chess". "My System" will make you a better player but it might take more work than other books because of the complexities and early 20th Century language.

"greatness", this book is greatness. it is agreed by most that this is the best chess book of all time


Nimzowitsch was one of the first hypermodernists (controlling the center without actually putting pieces in the center)but his chess book isnt biased. Nimzowitsch was probably the 3rd best in the world in his time

the wording might be over the head for little kids (it was written in the 30's) but other than that this book is pretty much perfect. it has examples and games and goes over the most important chess principles

You need to re-read it every 200 rating points because there are new things you understand every time you read it.

"Best Ever", This book really improved my chess skills. I know much more than before.

"Positional Play for the Advanced Player", After you have grasped the materials I have recommended in the CHESS FOR JUNIORS series, HOW TO BEAT YOUR DAD AT CHESS and ART OF ATTACK, then MY SYSTEM is the classic all time work on improving your positional play.
The ideas of taking advantage of Pawn structure and open files is a very strong point in this book.
Highly recommended as a must read for advanced players.

"The Best Book on Positional Play", This is an invaluable book for a serious chess student. I would higly recommend it for improving one's game and understanding chess at a deeper level. By all means, study the brilliant combinations of Tal's and Fischer's games and study all the current chess theory. But if you want to learn the foundations of positional play, this is the book to start with. It's a timeless classic.

--Alexander Shaumyan, poet and chess player

"Jonathan", I read this book and I was quite dissapointed. I had read My 60 Memorable games and The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal, and felt that those were excellant books! I felt that Nimzowitsch didn't have anything good to day. I read this book last year, when I was under 1600, and thought to myself, maybe its to advanced I will try reading it again in a year from now. But now at expert strength I still am going wow, its not good at all.
Fine, Nimzowitsch gave some good ideas about chess, but it seemed all very basic! I think/thought that this books was a total waste of money if you have a USCF rating of over 1300, and a ICC rating of probably over 1500. If you are under that, this book may benifit you.
Even though it is said that every one read My System, I disagree. I think that this book is a very sad excuse for a "classic". I really believe that it is a nothing compared to "The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal" and "My 60 Memorable Games".
I guess overall, the book wasnt so hot, but it may be benificial to people who are lower rated, but people who are higher rated I would highly advise NOT TO BUY THIS BOOK! It would be a waste of money :(

"The best ever", IMHO, this has to be the best ever book in the market. This is the bible of all chess players who want to play sound chess.
