"The games in this book are just absolutely fascinating, both in their technical aspect and in their artistic execution. Irving Chernev's annotations are insightful and a joy to read."
"This book improved my game play more than any other. Using games from the Grandmasters, the Author illustrates one basic concept per game. That concept is usually the title of the chapter in which the game appears. By using Grandmaster games, many more concepts are introduced. One can also get a feel for the styles of the Grandmaster's play, like the methodical, seeming simplicity of Capablanca to the swashbuckling style of Fischer."
