"My System" is an exposition of the principles of chess strategy
according to Nimzovich. It includes mostly postions and game
fragments with (I believe) some complete games. "A Praxis of My
System" (sometimes just called "Chess Praxis") is a collection of
complete games played by Nimzovich that illustrate the principles
expounded in "My System". Each game is annotated by Nimzovich mostly
focusing the comments at the points in the game where one specific "My
System" principles are illustrated.


There are recent editions of both of these books, which cleaned up
some of Nimzovich's clumsy English...


It might be better to say, "cleaned up some of the translators' clumsy
English", which, AFAIK, was not the language in which Nimzovich wrote.
