The Blockade

The book presents a pioneering work by Aron Nimzowitsch, a notable figure in 1920s chess and a World Chess Championship aspirant. It explores his strategic concepts, particularly focusing on the principles of restraining, blockading, and ultimately destroying the opponent's position. Newly translated into a dual-language format, this edition revives a significant yet overshadowed text, offering insights into Nimzowitsch's innovative approach to chess strategy alongside his more famous work, My System.
