In any case, Dr. Saidy is one of the best ever and not sufficiently recognized, in my opinion, for his strong play. He is perhaps best known for his popular books; The first was The Battle of Chess Ideas, published in 1972, and since translated into Spanish and French. The book reflects Saidy's understanding of and appreciation for the greatest living players, most of whom he faced over the board.
It draws great instructive coaching from these games.
