It's absolutely a monumental chess book. Extremely well researched. Great
games, and stunningly beautiful analysis with lots of verbal commentary. No
computer dumps or variation orgies! Lots of diagrams too, so it can be read
without a board. Garry is respectful in his praise of 19th century players
while pointing out their weaknesses. None of his arrogance comes through,
just his genius.

It's probably the only chess book I'll ever read cover to cover.

At $24 or so on Amazon, and 450+ pages, it's an incredible value. I hope GK
writes more (and not just on his predecessors).

I've been told by the Italian translator and Editor that Garry will write two more books about his
predecessors, and two books about himself.

Wait and enjoy!
