My System by Nimzowitsch

Hi everybody,

I have just borrowed Nimzowitsch's classic. But I was wondering if I should go through the whole thing, or if I could skip ahead to a given section, seeing as I already master the fundamentals, imho =)

Furthermore are any of the chapters particularly instructive as compared to other chapters? So that I may skip the less instructive chapters..

Hi. I remember finding the "isolani" and the "hanging pawns" sections very entertaining. I would advise - and maybe you already thought of this - read it once for words only; like any other book WITHOUT reading or playing over the moves.

That way you can familiarize with his messages, without the inconvenience of having to play over the moves on a board, or trying to comprehend the sequences in your head.
