Reviews"The enthusiasm that Garry has for chess jumps from the pages--the whole book reads like a fast-moving thriller." "If you haven't got the message already--this is a fantastic book. The sort of book that I will have to lock away for fear of spending too much time reading and re-reading it!"--Matthew Sadler, "New In Chess

SynopsisThis book, the fifth in Garry Kasparov's magnificent history of the World Chess Championship, catalogues the "post-Fischer" period in the 1970s and early 1980s. This period was dominated by the Anatoly Karpov (world champion from 1975 to 1985) and his three-time challenger, Viktor Korchnoi. Anatoly Karpov gained the right to challenge Bobby Fischer for the world title by winning through the Candidates series in 1974. As is well known, Fischer refused to defend the title and in 1975 Karpov became champion "by default." Although he did not have to contest a Championship match to gain the title, Karpov proved that he was a worthy champion by winning virtually every major tournament over the next decade. In this book, a must for all serious chess players Kasparov analyzes deeply Karpov's greatest games and assesses the legacy of this great Russian genius. Also under the microscope are the games of Viktor Korchnoi who was at his peak during this period and twice challenged Karpov for his world title., This book, the fifth in Garry Kasparov's magnificent history of the World Chess Championship, catalogs what is probably the greatest rivalry ever for the ultimate chess title., More than just a compilation of play from the great chess players of the 1960s and '70s, Kasparov's biographies place these champions in a fascinating historical, political, and cultural context., This book, the fifth in Garry Kasparov's magnificent history of the World Chess Championship, catalogues the post-Fischer period in the 1970s and early 1980s.

My great predecessors part 5
I think it's a great work but I was disappointed because I was hoping it would contain more games from the Karpov-Kasparov matches.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
