In this account of his victory at the 1929 Carlsbad Tournament, Nimzovich offers a captivating retrospective of his triumph over some of the best of his contemporaries: Capablanca, Spielman, Maroczy, Rubinstein, Marshall, Euwe, Bogolyubov, Tartakower, S misch, and ten others.\u003cbr\u003eNimzovich's introduction argues that the chess world is morally obligated to arrange a match between himself and Alekhine, the world champion who avoided possible defeat by simply not playing among strong competitors, including Nimzovich. He continues his case in a tart analysis of Carlsbad's 30 best games, including his tense duel with Capablanca (drawn), and the brilliancy prize game between S misch and Gr nfeld. Nimzovich offers psychological interpretations of style and personal character as revealed in the play of Capablanca, Spielmann, and Rubinstein, as well as a selection of instructive games from among the non-prizewinners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486439426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.62w x 0.34d","brand":"Aron Nimzovich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637795516572,"sku":"9780486439426","price":9.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c7093611-6a43-46c6-aceb-eacdab3a5299.jpg?v=1603845710","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/carlsbad-international-chess-tournament-1929-9780486439426","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
