Hugh Myers is such a distinguished author that none
other an authority than Eric Schiller has written that
Hugh Myers wrote the second best book ever written
on the Nimzovich Defense.

Of course. Is that the same Eric Schiller who's books
are so rife with typos and other mistakes they are
virtually unreadable?

John, just a minor point FYI: Myers' book on the
Nimzovich Defense was actually the best, not second
best. The book Schiller claimed to be the best, "Nc6!"
by Heikki Westerinen, was one he actually had not
even read. It is not even about the Nimzovich Defense;
it's about a line in the King's Indian.

Here is the quote as it has been presented here befo

Batsford published "Unorthodox Openings" by
Joel Benjamin and Eric Schiller in 1987. In the
section on Nimzovich's Defense (1.e4 Nc6) the
authors wrote (page 50): "Myers, Harding and
Westerinen have all written books on the
subject. Westerinen's is the best, but very hard
to find."
