“Restrict, block, destroy!”, the battle cry of the great writer and ajedrector Aaron Nimzovich is repeated by players of the age of Reuben Fine and Tigran Petrosian, among others, for a few seconds after the edition of the book El Bloqueo , by Nimzovich. Later eclipsed by his classics Mi Sistema and La Práctica de Mi Sistema, this pioneering work, El Bloqueo, is now restored and published for the first time, translated by Antonio Gude, in Spanish and Portuguese, by Editora Solis.
The approach developed by Aaron Nimzovich, patriarch of modern tennis and creator of hypermodernism, clearly teaches the tennis scholar about many important aspects of the game. Written shortly after the end of the First World War, the enseñanzas of El Bloqueo reflect on the table the military thinking of the time, such as trench warfare and the strategy for conquering territories. Nimzovich's insights remain relevant today and are considered essential readings for the evolution of ajedrecistas.
Editora Solis, pioneering the release of Nimzovich's work in Portuguese, completes, with the edition of El Bloqueo, Aaron Nimzovich's bibliography in this language, in addition to editing it for the first time in Spanish.
