5.0 out of 5 stars british chess prodigy who challenged kasparov, 21 Nov 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, 6 Jul 2007
In 1993 Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short broke away from FIDE, the world chess federation, to contest their own world championship match sponsored by The Times newspaper of London. This book gives Nigel Short's best games, with meticulously researched comments, against top players, and shows how he qualified to meet the great Kasparov in their million dollar clash in London. Short's victims include Timman, Speelman, Ijubojevic, Karpov and Kasparov himself.
Raymond Keene is a British Chess Champion,and the first British Player to achieve a FIDE (World Chess Federation) Grandmaster norm. He was awarded the OBE for services to chess in 1985. He is Chess Correspondent of The Times,The Sunday Times,The Spectator, and The International Herald Tribune. He is a prolific author of chess books, several of which are classics of the genre. He has organised three World Chess Championships.<.>

5.0 out of 5 stars Short's games, 25 Sep 2006
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.
