I have been going over My System for the past few weeks as part of the study strategy portion of my study schedule. I think the best way to go over the content of the book is to go over The Elements section going over each example carefully. Luckily I have a Chessbase file with all of the diagrams setup which saves me a lot of time. I am annotating the diagrams while reading the book notes. Once I go over The Elements section, I plan on going over it a second time before I begin on Part 2: Positional Play. This will ensure that I have a good understanding of the foundations of Nimzowitsch’s System before I get into the more advanced content. I am also going over the illustrative games whenever Nimzowitsch calls for it.
In addition, it is helpful to have a copy of Chess Praxis, which has additional illustrative games, as well as a more condensed and modern explanation of key concepts.
New York 1924 has gone down in history as one of the most important chess tournaments of all time. Three undisputed world champions including Capablanca and Emanuel Lasker, and a briliantly annotated by future world champoin Alexander Alekhine. I have made the PGN of all of the games available here.
