''Mein System'' (German language for "My System"), is a book on chess theory written by Aron Nimzowitsch. The book — one of the early works on hypermodernism (chess) — introduced many new concepts to followers of the Modernism (chess) school of thought. == Contents == The book is divided into three parts: ''The Elements'', ''Position Play'', and ''Illustrative Games''. In ''The Elements'', Nimzowitsch writes about the basics of his "system". He covers topics such as Chess piece development, play in the Chess terminology#C, control of the 7th and 8th Chess terminology#R, the development of Chess terminology#P, etc. The next part, ''Position Play'', is based largely on the "elements" taught in the first part. In it, Nimzowitsch tells how to play for a positional advantage. In particular, he argues that the center can be effectively controlled using pieces instead of Pawn (chess). This concept, now widely accepted, is one of the fundamental principles of hypermodernism. ''Illustrative Games'' contains Chess terminology#A versions of fifty of Nimzowitsch's career games, which he refers to throughout the text. == Editions == * The original German edition was published in 1925.
