british chess prodigy who challenged kasparov,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nigel Short: Best Games of a World Title Challenger (Paperback)
a great book about one of britain's greatest ever players and the only brit in the last 100 years or so to challenge for the world championship! short rose to the top in meteoric fashion and by the age of 28 he was kasparov's challenger having disposed already of speelman , gelfand, karpov and timman. this book is a highly readable collection of short's best wins-the notes are accessible and not heavily loaded with telephone directory style variations. the author grandmaster ray keene makes the chess board combat come to life. there is also an interesting foreword by short's friend and supporter the editor of the sunday telegraph dominic lawson. shorts wins are backed up with a fine selection of his best tournament results.

Short's games,
By Penny Smith "PS" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nigel Short: Best Games of a World Title Challenger (Paperback)
This book documents Nigel Short's best games and shows the reader how his playing developed to be World Class, allowing him to be a real contender for the World title against Kasparov in 1993. Short's wins included those against Timman, Ijubojevic, Speelman, Karpov and naturally, Kasparov himself. A great collection with annotations from grandmaster Raymond Keene OBE and chess correspondant for The Times.
