Title: A good book for a beginner, or if you're in a creative rut
Review: Here are my qualms with the book: 1) The book's layout is not conductive to holding it while studying a game. The book is too short and squat (it's a trade paperback) to crack the binding. 2) Nimzowitsch is dead so he can't sue for copyright infringement. The book is mainly a reworking of My System put into more user-friendly terms.On the other hand, the chapter on planning in chess is worth the price of the book alone.
Is the review positive or negative?
