Genius in the Background introduces brilliant chess that will be
unfamiliar to even well-read chessplayers. Twelve chess stars are
profiled with examples of their greatest achievements, but these
stars are not famous they are geniuses who stay in the background.
For example, Pervakov and Afek are not household names but they
compose chess studies and puzzles of such elegance and cleverness
that they deserve to be famous. Top players such as Garry Kasparov
and Veselin Topalov may be famous names to chess fans, but they did
not become World Champions without great help two of their coaches
are profiled in this book and provide insights into the education
of a chess champion. A broad range of chess is covered by the
twelve profiles from openings to endgames, puzzles to training. The
common thread is beauty and brilliance that deserves to be better
known.
