The 1999 World Championship in Las Vegas produced a surprise winner
- after a month-long battle, the Russian grandmaster Alexander
Khalifman emerged from this grueling knock-out event to become the
14th FIDE World Champion. Alexander Khalifman has been competing in
the higher echelons of world chess for many years. He is a player
with a broad opening repertoire and a distinctive style, one of his
favorite stratagems being the sacrifice of material for long-term
positional compensation. A former European Junior Champion and a
winner of numerous Russian and international tournaments, he has
recently founded a grandmaster chess school in his native St.
Petersburg. (6 3/4 x 9 3/4, 208 pages, diagrams)
