Overall
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!
Overall
...the broad sweep of the book is majestic and Kasparov's chess genius is apparent in his critical review of the games given in the book and, inparticular, his appreciation of the ebb and flow of the world championship matches.
Overall
...the most important chess book ever to appear since Bobby Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games, three decades or so ago.
Overall
... is bound to go down as a classic of chess literature.
Overall
Garry has gone where no champion has gone before. And he has gone there with an open mind and inquiring intellect.
