Kasparov

How Life Imitates Chess: Making the Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom

Garry Kasparov

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

Inspiring advice on how to succeed in life
For those of us who grew up playing chess in the 1980s, Kasparov was a superhero. Hence I couldn't resist buying this book. I found it very inspiring and thoughtful. It has many insights taken from Kasparov's own personal life and chess games, about what it takes to ...

Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 1

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2003

Very enjoyable read.....
I recently purchased Part I of "My Great Predecessors" and have found it the most enjoyable chess book I've ever read. I love history and chess, so this book was a good fit for me: the chess games and analysis are interweaved with a historical sketch of what was ...

Evgeny Bareev, Ilya Levitov

New in Chess, 2008

A book that brings joy...
If you are a typical chess amateur like me who loves to read chess books more for the anecdotes, and sort of wishes that the games and analysis would somehow automatically permeate through to my consciousness, then you will love this book. The stories and accounts ...

Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 3 (My Great Predecessors)

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2004

I was stunned
I initially bought this book because I wanted to acquire a collection of Petrosian games that were well annotated. I figured Kasparov would be a good annotator :-) What I found out is that the section on Petrosian (181 pages) is one long story, where Kasparov shows ...

Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 2

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2004

Fantastic
I can't imagine how anyone could give anything less than 5 stars for these books, when you compare them to the rest of the chess market. This entire series is probably one of the greatest literary works in the history of chess. Not only are there fantastic games ...

Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 5 (My Great Predecessors)

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2006

A review of the book *AFTER* it's been released!
Let me start with the obvious question: Should I buy this book. YES! Here's why: Kasparov has written a series that will keep any chess player busy for years. Yes, he made numerous errors, especially in the earlier volumes. However, he has been learning how ...

Garry Kasparov on Fischer: Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 4 (My Great Predecessors)

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2005

Excellent five-volume set
This is Volume Four of the five-volume set of My Great Predecessors. I had to do a lot of shopping around to find each volume at a price I could afford, but if you are serious about developing an understanding of chess strategy, this set is an excellent resource. The ...

Checkmate!: My First Chess Book (Everyman Chess)

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2004

Finally found the starter book
I have been researching for months to find a good 'starter' book to begin a chess club. I have searched online and made many stops at book stores and even asked many questions. Some of the books out there are excellent, but the cost was a little more than I wanted to ...

The Berlin Wall: The Variation That Brought Down Kasparov
John Cox

Quality Chess, 2008

The Berlin variation of the Spanish Opening is one of the best and most popular openings among world-class chess players because there are relatively few forcing lines. Black can play a completely sound chess opening based on understanding, rather than memorising theory. The Berlin was Vladimir Kramnik's major weapon with Black when he defeated ...

Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess, Part 2: Kasparov vs Karpov 1975-1985 (Modern Chess)

Garry Kasparov

Everyman Chess, 2008

Chess of the Titans
This book is amazing. I enjoyed Kasparov's "Great Predessors" series, but didn't read any of them cover-to-cover. I found his "Revolutions in the 70s" to be interesting but not very useful and definitely not entertaining. But this book is a classic that I'll be ...

Serious Chess....Great book, ..Great Kasparov hit
The books says 70's, but have a nice game's selection, from different decades, Kasparov knew the key games to explain the develoment of the oppening. He does not give, infinite variation, (like Kasparov used to) he argue the approach at that time, and how new lines ...
