▪️ Aron Nimzowitsch
▪️ Danish-Russian Writer and Chess Grandmaster

🔰 Aron Nimzowitsch was a Russian-born, Danish leading chess grandmaster and influential chess writer. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns.

Full name: Aron Nimzowitsch
Country: Russia Latvia Denmark
Born: 7 November 1886
Riga, Russian Empire
Died: 16 March 1935 (aged 48)
Copenhagen, Denmark
Education: Humboldt University of Berlin
Nationality: Danish, Russian

🔰Aron Nimzowitsch, Latvian-born chess master and theoretician who was renowned for his book My System (1925) but failed to win a world championship, despite many attempts.
🔰Nimzowitsch learned to play chess from his father, a wholesale merchant, when he was eight years old, but only after he entered the University of Berlin in 1904 did he concentrate on the game. My System, which advocates what came to be called the Hypermodern school of chess, remains a classic.
🔰Nimzowitsch is best remembered for having created a new vocabulary for chess that made the strategy of the masters more intelligible. He also developed several theories of play, including the Nimzowitsch-Indian defense.

"The fact that a player is very short of time is to my mind, as little to be considered as an excuse as, for instance, the statement of the law-breaker that he was drunk at the time he committed the crime."

- Alexander Alekhine; "Chess Life, Volume 16-18", 1961.

A strong move by the winner of the 2018 Aeroflot Open. He opens his light-squared bishop to create threats on the kingside.
