Discovering a Legend
"​Aron Nimzowitsch: On the Road to Chess Mastery, 1886-1924" by Per Skjoldager & Jørn Erik Nielsen (originally published in hardcover in 2012, now available in paperback)

One of the most influential chess players of all time, Aron Nimzowitsch was a pioneer in the development of Hypermodern Chess and his legacy continues to shape the game today.

In this first full-scale biography, authors Per Skjoldager and Jørn Erik Nielsen take us on a journey through Nimzowitsch's early life in Denmark, his education, and his passion for the game. This book explores his tournament games and records, his disagreement with influential chess teacher Siegbert Tarrasch, and his role in the evolution of Hypermodern Chess.

With nearly 450 games and the only narrative of Nimzowitsch from 1914 to 1924, this biography is the most comprehensive treatment of the chess legend available.
