"International Master Anthony Saidy has chosen eleven of the greatest modern players, and their best games, to illustrate important concepts in the march of chess ideas. His subjects are all Grandmasters whom he has faced across the board or observed first hand in the international arena." From the inner flap. "Considered only as a collection of best games, this is the cream. But in its explanation of chess thought, the book bids to become a classic. Critically examines ten great living players and their best games and shows how they illustrate important ideas in chess. Here are Botvinnik, Reshevsky, Keres, Bronstein, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Larsen, Spassky and Fischer, presented by a writer who has done across-the-board battle with most of them." - Chess Life & Review.…
