San Luis 2005 is the most celebrated chess tournament of the
decade. There, Bulgarian Grandmaster Veselin Topalov triumphed and
proved that he is a worthy successor to World Champions such as
Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. In this ambitious work Gershon
and Nor analyze all the games from the tournament, but there is no
danger of the reader drowning in masses of variations, as the
authors clearly explain the ideas behind the moves. Tournament
books used to be a familiar part of chess literature with Zurich
1953 a classic example, however such books are rare because of the
huge effort they demand from the authors. Gershon and Nor have
risen to the challenge and produced a book that is destined to
become a modern classic, a magnificent book worthy of an
extraordinary tournament. Many color photographs of the event and
the surrounding Argentinean scenery help the reader feel what it
was like to be at San Luis 2005.
