Reviews by Revi

Throughout the history of chess, great champions have been enthusiastically applauded by the public, they have dictated the fashions of their time, but more importantly, they have provided prosperity with an invaluable wealth of invaluable study material.

Clearly, each of them had their own specialties, certain territories where they acted as true virtuosos, specific ways of playing that became proverbial.

Each chapter of this book focuses on how a great player dealt with simplified positions with a certain material balance (e.g. bishop against knight, minor piece against rook, queen and rook against queen and rook). The only exception is the chapter dedicated to Viktor Korchnoi, which in a way is a summary of the rest of the book.

The author has selected for this book eight great players. Six of them earned official recognition as the strongest players at the top of their careers. In the case of the other two, only the whim of Caissa prevented them from becoming world champions, but their art should nevertheless be held in such high esteem as that of their colleagues.

Learn from the Legends has been twice awarded the ChessCafe.com Book of the Year 2005 and the Alvise Zichichi prize for the book of the year awarded by the Federazione Scacchistica Italiana.
