Synopsis
By almost any standards Garry Kasparov is the greatest chess player to ever play the game. With his fiery arrogance and indomitable attacking play, he became the youngest world chess champion at the age of 22, and held the title for 15 years. His FIDE chess rating of 2851 is the highest ever recorded. Since he retired from professional chess in 2005 to pursue a career in politics, Kasparov has released a series of chess books titled MY GREAT PREDECESSORS that chronicle the seminal strategic developments and revolutionary thinkers of chess history. The books provide compelling insight into the historical, psychological, and biographical elements in chess, but Kasparov is at his most brilliant and riveting when he turns his gaze on the conceptual evolution of the game. Chess is an arcane and infinite pursuit, and perhaps only Kasparov is truly qualified to tell its marvelous story. Chess lovers will be reading, analyzing, and rereading these books for years. In his second volume, Kasparov discusses the contribution of the chess champions Max Euwe, the immaculately prepared Mikhail Botvinnik (who would later become Kasparov's tutor), and the men who briefly wrested the throne from Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov and the brash young Latvian Mikhail Tal.

Publisher's Note
The battle for the World Chess Championship has witnessed numerous titanic struggles that have engaged the interest not only of 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 chess from the mid-20th century forms the basis of the second part of Garry Kasparov's long-awaited definitive history of the World Chess Championship. Garry Kasparov, who is universally acclaimed as the greatest chess player ever, subjects the play of his early predecessors to a rigorous analysis. This volume features the play of champions Max Euwe (1935-1937) Mikhail Botvinnik (1946-1957, 1958-1961 and 1961-1963), Vassily Smyslov (1957-1958) and Mikhail Tal (1960-1961). 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.
