The Philosopher and the Housewife

Siegbert Tarrasch and Aron Nimzowitsch can without exaggeration be called the two most vain 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. Willy Hendriks offers a wonderful and often highly entertaining look at this great controversy.
