Reviews by Revi

Gary Kasparov was still a child when Mikhail Botvinnik (1911-1995), the patriarch of Soviet chess, saw in him a future champion and a revolutionary, and welcomed him as his favorite student in his special school for great talents. As clear-sighted as Botvinnik was, he could not imagine that that restless Azerbaijani boy would dissect the games of all the world champions with exemplary depth thirty years later. In this second volume, Kasparov analyzes the scientific style that defined his beloved teacher, the almost poetic harmony of Vasily Smyslov, the volcano-like mind in continuous eruption of Mikhail Tal and the mental coherence and discipline of the only champion not born in the USSR (or Russia) who ruled between 1927 and 1972, the Dutchman Max Euwe. The book is completed with a tribute to justice: Paul Keres, David Bronstein and Efim Geller were champions without a crown, they did not reach the throne due to bad luck or having been born a few years before or afterwards, and it is only fair that they appear in this gallery of dissected kings, whose faces can be seen in 64 pages (one per board square!) dedicated to photos.
