Everything else you say, fine, but to say "are unparalleled better than
that
trilogy" when you haven`t even read it, is a statement completely devoid
of
logic or reasoning. It`s impossible to make meaningful judgements on a
book
you haven`t read. They may suck, but making comparisons involving
something
you haven`t even read (and hasn`t even been finished yet) is not
realistically possible here.
Everything else you say is opinion, but trying to make value comparisons
involving something not even written yet, much less read by you, is
completely nonsensical.

I don't need to read that unwritten trilogy. There are two reasons: The
first: That was his mother's decision to write the book, because she don't
think that any chess player except Garry could do it. It's nonsense. There
are many chess players and chess journalists who has done it. The second, I
don't believe that it has any merit. The basic idea of the book is
unreliable. I think that's nonsense to look at the position and say-Alekhine
would play in this position this move and Capablanca that move. I have no
confidence in that methodology. It's the tale of a tub. I cite Alekhine: "By
means of chess I build my character. Chess first of all teaches you to be
objective." - Alexander Alekhine
Obviously, in the Alekhine's time that were some objective values that WCC
could apprehend. And today?
