Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors: Pt.3

Appreciate the seller for providing the book at affordable price.

Excellent book

Purchased it from( 078451-18848)elsewhere, but an awesome book, must for everyone playing Chess

This book is a must read for all who love chess and want to put in the work to improve their game.The book arrived in perfect condition and quickly. Very pleased.

Très intéressant.

Spassky has sadly not written anything of much significance, so having Kasparov write about him is the best you can get. I have some books on Petrosian as well but this book adds to it. the writing about Stein is also fascinating. Kasparov here is writing about players he has won and lost to or talked with so it is a really informative read.

I initially bought this book because I wanted to acquire a collection of Petrosian games that were well annotated. I figured Kasparov would be a good annotator :-)What I found out is that the section on Petrosian (181 pages) is one long story, where Kasparov shows how ideas were formed, tested adopted, refuted and so on. Throughout the weaving of the progression of chess ideas during Petrosian's time, he incrementally adds to Petrosian's life to give the reader a complete picture of him.This is unlike any other chess book I've purchased, and I was amazed once I figured out what I was reading. I was stunned at how readable it is at one level, although you could spend hours on each game if you delve into all of the analysis.I highly recommend it!

Great writer, wasn't too bad at chess either!
