Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Very educational. - Like all. Review: the bible - this book is the bible of chess. and like the bible it was written by a human! hehe ok i wont go there. one thing i here recurring about this book is a very strange rumour that it improves peoples games. even though watson did not write it as a training book. its more a report on the evolution of chess and how modern players handle positions. im sure it will improve peoples chess because watsons research matches his interpretation which is incredible and without a doubt he is one of the greatest chess writers of all time. i noticed a reviewer said that reading this book can be a bit of a slog. in that case they probaly dont understand the depth to which watson takes the book. its very deep and very thoughtful and if you cant understand it you will see it as a slog reading rather than the gem it is. if you cant understand it then read silmans books or a few others on basic strategy then come back to it and you will see how groundbreaking and to current knowledge how correct watsons report on chess is. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1901983072 | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,063,141 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 615 in Chess (Books) 2,127 in Indoor Games | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (144) | | Dimensions | 17.3 x 2.24 x 25.07 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9781901983074 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1901983074 | | Item weight | 499 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Chess Strategy | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | 25 Nov. 1999 | | Publisher | Gambit Publications Ltd | ## Images ![Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy: Advances Since Nimzowitsch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31BeLqS0jWL.jpg) ![Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy: Advances Since Nimzowitsch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rx+t5a4uL.jpg) ![Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy: Advances Since Nimzowitsch - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51N1j9HO83L.jpg) ![Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy: Advances Since Nimzowitsch - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bdzbY5U8L.jpg) ![Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy: Advances Since Nimzowitsch - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bq3wIiSpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very educational. *by E***Y on 1 March 2021* Like all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the bible *by M***N on 24 September 2005* this book is the bible of chess. and like the bible it was written by a human! hehe ok i wont go there. one thing i here recurring about this book is a very strange rumour that it improves peoples games. even though watson did not write it as a training book. its more a report on the evolution of chess and how modern players handle positions. im sure it will improve peoples chess because watsons research matches his interpretation which is incredible and without a doubt he is one of the greatest chess writers of all time. i noticed a reviewer said that reading this book can be a bit of a slog. in that case they probaly dont understand the depth to which watson takes the book. its very deep and very thoughtful and if you cant understand it you will see it as a slog reading rather than the gem it is. if you cant understand it then read silmans books or a few others on basic strategy then come back to it and you will see how groundbreaking and to current knowledge how correct watsons report on chess is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply masterful *by A***R on 28 January 2005* I am not a master chess player but I am on my way there. I started playing at the age of two and developed an early understanding of the game. Unfortunately I didn't have the proper competition as a kid and quickly lost interest in chess due to my domination of weaker players. I picked up the game again at age 23, because of the internet's ability to allow me to play chess-players of a superior level in online gaming. After being humiliated a few times by advanced players on the internet, I rediscovered my love for this complex game and decided to get studying! After browsing through countless chess books (for advanced players only, I have already studied and am beyond basic chess books) I found this book to be the most comprehensive and challenging one on the market for a player of my level, (advanced-intermediate striving for mastery). Of course the BEST way to improve your chess is to PLAY, and study your OWN games. But this book serves as my "chess-bible" which I study, play out the games( alot of goodies in here), and go back too when I need to develop my chess understanding with a master's help. Watson reveals his genius to the reader and I, like most chess-players would be more than happy to reach Watson's level of chess comprehension. Another thing I like about the book is Watson's 'philosophical' view of the game, and his very witty remarks about everything from the old chess masters' games, to extremely abstract views of the essence of chess as a whole. to sum up in one word -'GENIUS.' --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/56149853-secrets-of-modern-chess-strategy-advances-since-nimzowitsch](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/56149853-secrets-of-modern-chess-strategy-advances-since-nimzowitsch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
