Siegbert Tarrasch and Aron Nimzowitsch could be called the two vainest chess players in history. This book tells the fascinating story of their lifelong rivalry. They clashed as personalities, as players and as chess writers, both searching for the truth in chess, but with very different perspectives. Hendriks offers a wonderful and often highly entertaining look at this great controversy. The book contains all 12 annotated games that Tarrasch and Nimzowitsch played together and many fragments from games played by other players. It also provides a lot of interesting information from this turbulent period of chess history. Name index, bibliography. IM Willy Hendriks is a chess historian and trainer.
