Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov: Part III is the final volume in a
major three-volume series made unique by the fact that it records
the greatest chess battles played by the greatest chessplayer of
all-time. Kasparov's series of historical volumes have received
great critical and public acclaim for their rigorous analysis and
comprehensive detail regarding the developments in chess that
occurred both on and off the board. The first two volumes in this
series saw Kasparov emerging as a huge talent, toppling his great
rival Anatoly Karpov and then defending the World Championship
title on three occasions. This third volume focuses on the final 12
years of Kasparov's career up until his retirement from full-time
chess in 2005. This period witnessed three further World
Championship matches: wins against Short (London 1993) and Anand
(New York 1995) before the loss against Kramnik (London 2000) which
finally ended Kasparov's 15-year tenure as world champion. This
period also saw Kasparov achieve a colossal 2851 rating (1999), a
record which stood until 2013. Despite loss of the World
Championship, Kasparov continued to be ranked as the world number
one and dominated the elite tournament circuit. He won the Linares
super-tournament for four consecutive years (1999-2002) with the
fourth of these victories in 2002 concluding an unprecedented run
of ten straight wins in the world's elite events (Linares 4, Wijk
aan Zee 3, Sarajevo 2 and Astana 1). The games in this volume
feature many masterpieces of controlled aggression played against
the world's absolute best.
