Indisch Theorie und Praxis by Dr. S. Tartakower

For sale is Indisch (Aus der Werkstätte einer Eröffnung): Theorie und PraxisBy Dr. S. G. TartakowerPublished by Schach-Verlag Bernhard Kagan, Berlin, 1924A scarce and highly collectible first edition of one of the earliest books devoted entirely to the Indian Defences, written by the legendary grandmaster, chess writer, and opening theoretician **Dr. Savielly (S. G.) Tartakower**. Published in Berlin in 1924 by the noted chess publisher **Bernhard Kagan**, this important work documents the emergence of the hypermodern school of chess and the revolutionary opening ideas that were reshaping competitive play during the 1920s.Rather than presenting only variations, Tartakower explains both the theory and practical application of the Indian Defence, illustrating strategic concepts with deeply annotated master games, opening analysis, and numerous chess diagrams. The book reflects the influence of the hypermodern movement championed by players such as Réti, Nimzowitsch, and Tartakower, who challenged the classical belief that the center had to be occupied immediately with pawns.This volume is an important historical document, capturing opening theory at a formative stage before the King's Indian, Queen's Indian, Nimzo-Indian, and related systems had become fully developed. It remains an outstanding reference for students of chess history, opening evolution, and the hypermodern revolution.**Book Details:*** Author: Dr. S. G.
