Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov: Part III is the final volume of an important three-volume series that is made unique by the fact that it records the greatest chess battles ever played by the greatest chess player of all time.

Kasparov's historical volume series has been met with great acclaim from critics and audiences alike for its rigorous analysis and comprehensive details about the developments in chess that occurred both on and off the board.

The first two volumes of this series saw Kasparov emerge as a great talent, defeating his great rival Anatoly Karpov and then defending the World Championship title three times. This third volume focuses on the last 12 years of Kasparov's career until his full-time retirement from chess in 2005.

This period witnessed three more World Championship matches: victories against Short (London 1993) and Anand (New York 1995) before the defeat against Kramnik (London 2000) which finally put an end to Kasparov's 15-year reign as World Champion.

This period also saw Kasparov achieve a staggering rating of 2851 (1999), a record that remained unbroken until 2013.

Despite the loss of the World Championship, Kasparov continued to be the world number one and dominated the elite tournament circuit.

He won the super tournament in Linares for four consecutive years (1999-2002) and the fourth of these victories in 2002 concluded an unprecedented streak of ten consecutive wins in world elite events (Linares 4, Wijk aan Zee 3, Sarajevo 2 and Astana 1).

The games collected in this volume provide many masterpieces of controlled aggression against the world's best.

Garry Kasparov is generally considered the greatest chess player of all time. He was the thirteenth World Champion, holding the title between 1985 and 2000. His tournament record is unmatched, with numerous wins in major world events, often by substantial margins.
