You seem to be referring to a chess strategy book that uses "The Four Squares System" (e4, d4, d5, e5) as its central theme. Unfortunately, no widely known book goes by that exact name. However, I’d suggest looking into books that cover strategic ideas in central pawn structures or positional play, as they may address similar themes.
For example:
-
"My System" by Aron Nimzowitsch – A classic work that discusses central pawn structures, controlling key squares, and other foundational strategic concepts.
-
"Pawn Structure Chess" by Andrew Soltis – This book offers excellent insights into how different pawn structures influence the middle game and overall strategy.
-
"Chess Fundamentals" by José Raúl Capablanca – While not directly focused on the four squares you mention, this book covers basic principles that tie into central control and harmonious piece play.
You might also want to search for materials or books focused on classical chess strategy or openings that lead to symmetrical pawn structures, as these often emphasize the importance of the central squares.
If you recall any additional details (author, publishing date, or specific examples), that might help refine the search further!
Some years ago I saw a book with as a central theme The Four Squares (e4,d4,e5,d5). I think it was called The Four Squares System. But I can't find a book with this name anymore. Does anyone have suggestions about the book that I am looking for? Or about a book comparable to this one?
