Title: There are better alternatives
Review: This book has discouraged more chess players than any other book. I gave a copy of this book to my brother for Christmas many years ago and he gave up the game. I thought it was just me or an isolated case.Bob Long who published a chess book review newsletter also holds this view. Most players that I know who have this book, do not go through this book. They have other alternatives. Even fans who strongly encourage going through "My System" have difficulty in recommending this book.This is not to say that Nimzowitsch is not a great player and theoretician. He certainly was both those things. If you want an alternative, try "Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy" and "Chess Strategy in Action" by John Watson; or "Road to Chess Improvement" by Alex Yermolinsky.
