Format:Paperback
This is a Dover reprint, and is up to their usual excellent standard. This means good quality paper clear diagrams and excellent binding. The games are mostly well-known ones of course but Pachman delves into the psyche of the players - why they made a particular move. To do this he gives the history of the match or tournament for us, to set the scene as it were. The mistakes that are made here that throw away prizemoney are indeed graphically desribed. No more so than the examples of Pachman's own blunders. These are all clinically disected with almost ruthless efficiency. All in all a good book. Will soon need a second edition or volume to add names like Karpov, Kasparov, Shirov, Kamsky ...
