My system

Book • 1925
My System is a seminal work on chess theory written by Aron Nimzowitsch, originally published in a series of brochures from 1925 to 1927.

The book is divided into three parts: 'The Elements', 'Positional Play', and 'Illustrative Games', and it explores strategic concepts such as controlling the center, pawn chains, and the use of rooks on open files.

Despite being written nearly a century ago, its ideas remain influential in modern chess.
