Over the past few years the great chess player Garry Kasparov has
written five best-selling books praising the contributions to chess
made by the previous world champions. The series is called ''My
Great Predecessors''. As a reaction to this wonderful series of
books, leading chess writer Tibor Karolyi has written this
imaginary sixth volume. In gently humorous - but chessically
serious - style, the author imagines Kasparov is annotating over 70
of his own lost games, and blaming all these defeats on the bad
influence of each of the previous world champions, providing
in-depth analysis to show how he was misled by them. The book also
serves as a highly instructive, practical chess book - to beat
Kasparov, the greatest player of all time, took some pretty special
chess, and readers will enjoy learning from this. It is astonishing
how the author has managed to find so many games that exhibit
uncanny similarities between Kasparov and his predecessors, which
makes the content of the book extremely plausible - as if Kasparov
himself were writing it. This is a brilliant and totally original
chess book that could only have been written by someone with great
knowledge of Kasparov and the past world champions.
