'''Aron Nimzowitsch''' ({{lang-langx|lv|Ārons Nimcovičs}}; {{lang-langx|ru|Аро́н Иса́евич Нимцо́вич}}, ''Aron Isayevich Nimtsovich''; 7 November 1886&nbsp;– 16 March 1935) was a Latvian-born Danish [[chess]] player and writer. In the late 1920s, Nimzowitsch was one of the best chess players in the world. He was the foremost figure amongst the [[Hypermodernism (chess)|hypermoderns]] and wrote a very influential book on chess theory: ''[[My System]]'' (1925–1927). Nimzowitsch's seminal work ''Chess Praxis'', originally published in German in 1929, was purchased by a pre-teen and future World Champion [[Tigran Petrosian]] and was to have a great influence on his development as a chess player.<ref>{{cite book | last = Vasiliev | first = Vik L. | title = Tigran Petrosian: His Life and Games | publisher = B.

| Final position; "[25... h6!! is] a brilliant move which announces the Zugzwang. White has not a move left. If, e.g., Kh2 or g4, then R5f3. Black can now make waiting moves with his King, and White must, willy-nilly, eventually throw himself upon the sword."<ref name="immortal">{{cite chessgames game|title=Friedrich Saemisch vs Aron Nimzowitsch|gid=1102400}}</ref>
