You'll probably find the annotated games just as interesting as any concepts he tries to teach. All of the most important concepts are assimilated into other works. Others seem to find his writing good, I'm not a fan of Nimzowitsch as a writer at all.
Same goes for me but it was the first chess book I ever read, probably when I was about 13. It isn't necessarily thought well of but it's a seminal book and GMs will want to read it even if they disagree with some of it.
Idk haven’t read it, however a FM told me he didn’t like it cuz it was very dogmatic
Has anyone seen this video series?
