The battle for the World Chess Championship has witnessed numerous titanic struggles which have engaged the interest not only of the chess enthusiasts but of the public at large. The chessboard is the ultimate mental battleground and the world champions themselves are supreme intellectual gladiators.
This magnificent compilation of play from the second half of the 20th century forms the basis of the third part of Garry Kasparov's long-awaited definitive history of the World Chess Championship. Garry Kasparov, who is universally acclaimed as the greatest chessplayer ever, subjects the play of his predecessors to a rigourous analysis. This volume is devoted to world champions Tigran Petrosian (1963-1969) and Boris Spassky (1969-1972) and also their outstanding opponents -Svetozar Gligoric, Lev Polugayevsky, Lajos Portish and Leonid Stein.
However, this book is more than just a compilation of the games of these champions. Kasparov´s biographies place them in a fascinating historical, political and cultural context. Kasparov explains how each champion brought his own distinctive style to the chessboard and enriched the theory of the game with new ideas. |
